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” in the Index.
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
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
ON.
If
the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so
it
will be
ready to
warn
you if there is
a
problem.
Charging System Indicator Light
The charging system
indicator light will come
on when you turn
on
the
ignition, but the engine is
not running, as a check to
show you it is worhg.
Then it should go out.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving and
you hear
a
chime, you may have a problem with the
electrical charging system. It could indicate that you
have a loose generator drive belt or another electrical
problem. Have
it
checked right away. Driving while
this light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn
off
all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
