download SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK An air bag light is located on left side of
instrument cluster. Air bag light is used to indicate readiness of
system. Light glows when ignition switch is on or engine is started.
Light should stay on about 3 seconds while air bag control unit performs
an electronic test of system. If air bag light does not glow when
ignition is on or does not go out after 3 seconds, a fault probably
exists in system. If a fault occurs while ignition is on, it is stored
in fault memory. Warning light will then glow and air bag system will be
switched off. If warning light glows or flickers while driving, air bag
system should be tested. See DIAGNOSIS & TESTING in appropriate AIR
BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.
