A communication control device for passenger protection device includes a
satellite sensor unit and an ECU being connected to the satellite sensor
unit via a communication line. The satellite sensor unit includes a
satellite sensor main body, which detects an impact against a vehicle,
and a controller, which obtains a measurement from a signal detected by
the satellite sensor main body. The ECU includes a main controller which
determines deployment of a passenger protection device. The controller of
the satellite sensor unit is adapted to compares the measurement or a
calculated value which is calculated based on the measurement with a
preset reference value range, and, when the measurement or the calculated
value is within the reference value range, the controller transmits a
communication from the satellite sensor unit to the ECU at an interval
which is longer than a predetermined time interval.
