摘要

An airbag control apparatus has a storage device with a storage region for the separate activation/deactivation of each individual airbag. To each airbag ignition circuit is assigned at least one control bit of the storage region of the storage device. The storage region has 4, 5 or 8 bytes, according to the equipment variant. 16 airbag ignition circuits are provided. There is a monitoring device for the monitoring of one of every airbag circuit depending on whether the corresponding control bits are set or not set. The monitoring device monitors whether a short-circuit, an interruption or a coupling fault is present.
