Default Impact detected

Impact detected - OnStar was called automatically (sp?) and I was just out 4x4 wheeling in some dirt just to the left of the road when this went off - minus the airbag, thank god/gods/deitiesd (sp?)

WTF? secound gear and having some fun till this? Has this happened to anybody else?

There must be a way to disable the onstar/ impact detectionwhen off roading? Probably not, but it would be nice to know if there was.

This is sure to be a hot thread, It does seem that there should be a way to bypass it while offroading. What did On-Star say about it?

They wanted to know if I was all right and if I had been in an accident. Was a little pissed off at that call, had the radio turned to a good song. Told them that I was out bombing round in my Hummer and having a good time.

I would recommend you take the vehicle to the dealer and have them troubleshoot the problem.
The way the system works, the SDM should not have signaled the Onstar module to call unless there was an actually deployment of the air bags.
If there was a signal sent to the onstar module, there should be a code in the system that the dealer can read. Then again, your SIR light should have come on too. So, it sounds like something is wrong in the system somewhere.

As for the person who hit the deer, be glad your bags did not go off. Frontal bags are designed to be deployed based on deceleration not impact. That sensor(s) up front is used by the SDM to determine what stage of air bag deployement should be exercised; stage one or stage two. Stage one being less of a force than stage two.
Hitting a deer is not a sudden deceleration, as hitting another vehicle or a brick wall. After hitting a deer the vehicle moves forward and does not decelerate rapidly.

Semi off topic....its nice to have a switch to turn off the power to onstar or the GPS.....just so you can drop yourself off onstar radar if needed.

What if, like one of those action movies, u needed to disapear from the authories for a while until you found the real guy who did it. LOL. Personally,I just dont like the idea of some agency being able to locate me at any time.

Damn skippy..!!! 4000lb truck vs 130lb deer.. I don't even recall feeling it bump that much.. Just a lotta noise and cussin'..

Had to call my wife at home to get a phone number for the sherrif.. Was nervous enough I couldn't even keep the number in my head long enough to dial it, so I had her call them with my location, phone number and stuff... They called me back and then found out I wasn't in the county by one block and I needed city police so they tried to give me ANOTHER number to call and remember.. Ended up with them calling the city police and having them call me back again.. After I settled down a bit I realized I could just hit that blasted Onstar button and had them call whoever it was I needed.. Hell I mighta been able to work out a commercial spot with 'em..

Was thinking there's no need to worry much the bags going off because the seatbelts weren't on, but I've got buckles "clicked" to keep the chimes from pesterin' me so I prolly woulda had a nasty headache if it'd been something more sturdy like an armadillo

Wasn't much left of the deer.. Grill and hood busted the hams up and the windshield took care of mutilating the shoulders...

Anyone ever hit the OnStar button just cause you were bored and wanted someone to talk to..?? Anyone ever got a date that way..??

From what I understand onstar has numerous impact sensors, front and rear, not just for the airbags. I've heard of this happening a few times in off-roading situations (like where a guy is breezing through a pasture and hits an unexpected rut...truck is fine, but it was a pretty solid jolt) They have the sensors so that in a worse wreck they can help the responders by letting them know what they're getting into and what to take with them depending on the type of crash. This was implemented after Onstar went to paramedics and said "what information is helpful when responding." Did Onstar identify where the jolt was felt? Personally I think the benefits of this system (helping in a serious accident) out-weigh the cons (interrupting a good song to make sure you're alright)...

Onstar has NO air bag impact sensors. Those sensors are for the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). It is the SDM that signals via the class 2 circuit that the bags have been deployed. Technically, the signal goes through the BCM, the master, but it essentially comes from the SDM to the Onstar module.
a
As for air bag sensors, there are two in the front, two in the side and a roll over sensor (if equipped with side air curtains), seat sensor (presense and position) and the SDM.
For a frontal collison, primarily the SDM detects a repaid deceleration, and then determines what force to blow the bags depending on the front sensors. If no one is in the passenger seat it will not blow the passenger bag. For side collisions the sensors signal the SDM to blow the side bags, but the front bags may not blow.
The SDM used on this vehicle is primarily the same used for years, even for those that had NO frontal sensors.
There are NO sensors in the rear. The signal to Onstar may tell them front bags, side bags or all, but that is about all the info the module can send.
