•

and the electrical wiring which connects the components.

The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the
supplemental air bag electrical system warning (including the impact
sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air
bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.

Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to

Air bag readiness

section

in the

Instrument cluster

chapter. Routine maintenance of the air bag is

not required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

•

The readiness light will either
flash or stay lit.

•

The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after
ignition is turned on.

•

A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at your dealership or by a qualified technician immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a
collision.

Side air bag system (if equipped)

Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag
cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front

seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision.

Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of accessory seat
covers may prevent the deployment of the side air bags and

increase the risk of injury in an accident.
