Description / Abstract:
Introduction
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations.
Note: In the event of conflict between the
English and domestic language, the English language shall take
precedence.
Purpose. This specification establishes the
technical requirements for both halves of connection systems used
with all Restraint Subsystem electrical components for global
vehicles. It also includes requirements for restraint wiring,
in-line connections, fusing, and grounding.
Applicability. Vehicles and new connection and
wiring system designs beginning with Model Year (MY) 2012 shall
comply with this document.
Remarks. Restraint System components are part
of a safety system designed to deploy active restraints or
countermeasures that aid in reducing injuries in motor vehicle
crashes. Existing, off-the-shelf connection and wiring systems,
specifically those which were designed prior to MY 2012, do not
have to be redesigned to comply with the requirements of this
document. Those earlier systems were designed to the requirements
specified in CM20200, which remains applicable to them. Compliance
with this standard is preferred and those earlier systems can be
updated to these newer requirements if implemented in a way that
avoids negative impacts to timing, quality, and cost.
