Abstract
An airbag sensor for triggering the inflation of an airbag forming part of an airbag restraint system for an automotive vehicle, during a vehicle collision. The airbag sensor is arranged to be locked to disable the triggering function during maintenance and test run upon loosening a locking releasing bolt, and to be unlocked to normally function during norman driving of the vehicle upon tightening the bolt. A sufficient tightening of the locking releasing bolt provides closing of an electric circuit to operate a warning device which informs a mechanic of completion of the locking releasing.
