Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows airbag. The system checks
the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the airbag sensors, the airbag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag system, see
Airbag System on page 1-47.
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 airbag readiness light stays on after you start the
vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your
airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the airbag system
may not be working properly. The airbags 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 airbag
readiness light stays on after you start
your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition to RUN. If the light
does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
