Default "window" airbag?

Hi all.

The diagnostics protocol for late model 75/ZT with AB Autoliv airbag/SRS system makes reference to "window" airbags, for example "X808: Right window airbag resistance too high".

However when I look in the circuit diagrams I can find no "window" airbags, but instead there seems to be "head" airbags and as far as I can tell they are in the dashboard.

Maybe when they are triggered they come out of the dash and cover the front side glass?

Are they one and the same thing?

thanks for any enlightenment.

Thank you. So would it be better if the associated textual description of the error code was "A pillar airbag fault"?

Probably not as when inflated the airbag protects the drivers or passengers head from impact with the door window in case of a side on crash... it does not protect you from impact with the A pillar...

They are called ITS airbags (Inflatable Tubular Structure)
