There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR
BAG.
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 sensors, the air bag modules,
the
wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the air bag system, see “Air
Bag” in the Index.
AIR
BAG
This light will come on
when you start your engine,
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
engine or comes on when you are driving,
your
air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
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.
When
you turn the key
to
RUN,
this light will come
on briefly to show that the
generator and battery
charging systems are
working.
If
this
light stays on, you need service and you should
take
your Cadillac to the dealer at once.
To
save your
battery until you get there,
turn
off
all accessories.
