Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness
light which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag’s
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. The system
check includes the airbag sensor,
the pretensioners, the airbag
modules, the wiring and the crash
sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag
system, see Airbag System on
page 1-19.
This light will come on when you
start your vehicle, and it will flash for
a few seconds. The light should
go out and the system is ready.
If the airbag readiness light and the
Airbag Fault message on the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
stays on after you start the vehicle
or comes on when you are
driving, your airbag system may not
work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
{ CAUTION
If the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start your
vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working
properly. The airbags 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.
The airbag readiness light should
flash for a few seconds when
you start the vehicle. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed
immediately. If there is a problem
with the airbag system, a message
may also come on. See DIC
Warnings and Messages on
page 4-27 for more information.
The message will remain until
3
or 8 are pressed, but the light
will remain until the problem is fixed.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
