Air Bag Arrming/Disarming

AIR BAG SYSTEM DISARMING AND ARMING
Disarming
1. Turn ignition switch to Off position.
2. Remove battery ground cable.
3. Wait at least ten minutes after disconnecting the ground cable before performing any service procedures. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag(s) for a short time even after the ground cable has been disconnected. Performing service before the minimum ten minute period may cause unexpected deployment and possible injury.

Arming
1. Turn ignition switch to Off position, then ensure no one is inside vehicle and connect battery ground cable.
2. Turn ignition switch to On position and note air bag warning lamp operation. Lamp should light for approximately seven seconds, then turn off.
3. If lamp remains lit, does not light or continues to flash, there is an SRS fault. Refer to Air Bags (Supplemental Restraint Systems) for troubleshooting procedures.
