Abstract: A vehicle occupant restraint system having a base system and a supplemental system is provided. The base system includes an air bag module and an occupant restraint controller. In the absence of the supplemental system, the occupant restraint controller operates in a default mode wherein the air bag module is enabled. Coupling the supplemental system to the base system permits the air bag module to be selectively disabled. The supplemental system transmits a plurality of signals to indicate whether the air bag module is to be disabled or enabled. When the occupant restraint controller receives a signal indicating that the air bag module is to be disabled, the occupant restraint controller inhibits the generation of squib pulses which would cause the air bag module to actuate.
