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 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
Systems
on
page
1-50.
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.
