Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag
system. The system check includes
the airbag sensor(s), the passenger
sensing system, the pretensioners,
the airbag modules, the wiring, and
the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the
airbag system, see Airbag System
0 75.
The airbag readiness light comes on

vehicle is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed
immediately.

If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.

passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF for several
seconds as a system check. Then,

If the word ON is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag is allowed
to inflate.
If the word OFF is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.

indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
