A method of activating at least one electrical igniter incorporated in
each of a plurality of gas generators provided in an air bag system is
provided. The method includes: connecting an electronic control unit to a
power source and an impact detecting sensor; providing a bus line having
a plurality of loop wires passing through the electronic control unit to
supply and transmit current and required information; connecting each of
the at least one electrical igniter to the electronic control unit
through the bus line branched from predetermined portions of the bus
line; providing each of the at least one electrical igniter with a heat
generating portion, a priming ignited by the heat generating portion, a
capacitor, and an integrated circuit recorded with information to exhibit
required functions; and supplying a current for igniting the priming to
the at least one igniter through the capacitor.
