Air
Bag Readiness
Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the air bag symbol. The system
checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you
if
there is an electrical problem.
The system check includes the air bag sensor, the air
bag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and
diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag
system, see
Air
Bag System on page
1-64.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and
it will flash for
a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.
This means the system
is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air
bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
If
the
air
bag readiness light stays
on
after you
start your vehicle,
it
means the air bag system
may not be working properly. The air bags
in
your vehicle may not inflate
in
a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help
avoid injury to yourself
or
others, have your
vehicle serviced right away
if
the air bag
readiness light stays on after you start your
vehicle.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key
to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have
it
fixed
so
it will
be ready
to
warn you
if
there
is
a problem.
