It is an accelerometer - but in reverse..
It senses the speed of deceleration..
Beyond a certain rate of slowing, the air-bags and seat belt tensioners are triggered.
As Gaz states... All the air bag cables are coated in a lovely golden yellow fluffy shrowd..
Vauxhall convention, is for the main wires inside to have orange insulation, with coloured identification stripes.
