panel, which shows AIR BAG or shows the
air

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”
in the Index.

when you start your engine,
and it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means

engine or comes on when you

system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
