System Operation Check

  1. When checking air bag system operation, and at completion of repairs, check for faults in the air bag system. To check system, turn ignition on. If AIR BAG warning light illuminates for 6-8 seconds, and then goes out, air bag system is functioning properly.
  2. If a fault code is detected in the system during the system operation check, the AIR BAG warning light will fail to light, stay on continuously or flash a code sequence. If the AIR BAG warning light flashes, indicating a fault in the system, count number of flashes after fault code has cycled twice. Number of flashes represents a code number which may be used to diagnose air bag system.
  3. If a system fault code exists and the AIR BAG warning light fails to light, a tone will sound, indicating the AIR BAG warning light is not functioning, and service is required.
