Inflatable personal restraint systems

A wireless electronic module assembly for controlling the deployment of one or more personal restraint systems in a vehicle, comprising:

• a wireless transceiver for sending and receiving information to and from a remote device;
• a deployment circuit for deploying one or more of the personal restraint systems connected to the electronics module assembly;
• a diagnostic circuit for testing the readiness of one or more of the personal restraint systems connected to the electronics module assembly;
• and
• a programmed processor configured to execute instructions that cause the programmed processor to:
• receive instructions from the remote device to initiate a diagnostic self-test routine of the electronic module assembly and one or more of the personal restraint systems connected to the electronic module assembly;
• and
• transmit results of the diagnostic self-test routine to the remote device with the wireless transceiver.

The wireless electronic module further comprising:

• a memory circuit configured to store a unique identification code,
• wherein the programmed processor is configured to execute instructions that cause the programmed processor to:
• analyze codes received by the wireless transceiver from the remote device;
• compare the received codes with a code stored in the memory circuit;
• and
• initiate the diagnostic self-test if the received code matches the code stored in the memory circuit.

A wireless interrogation device comprising:

• a wireless transceiver;
• a programmed processor configured to execute program instructions that cause the programmed processor to:
• transmit a code that identifies an electronics module assembly that controls the deployment of one or more personal restraint systems;
• and
• receive diagnostic information from the electronics module assembly associated with the code indicating if the associated electronics module assembly can deploy the one or more personal restraint systems.
