Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes




Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Prove Out Procedure

Turn ignition from OFF to the ON position and monitor the air bag warning indicator with all SRS components connected. The IC module will illuminate the air bag warning indicator continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If a SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:

- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash.

The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate to indicate a fault is present until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault is detected, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.
