Kia Sportage: Airbag Module / Driver Airbag (DAB) Module and Clock Spring Description and operation
Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed in the steering wheel and electrically connected
to SRSCM via the clock spring.
It protects the driver by deploying the airbag when frontal crash occurs. The
SRSCM determines deployment of the Driver Airbag (DAB).

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module
(squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance
is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result
in serious personal injury.
