Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not
touch them after inflation.
If the air bag has deployed,
the air bag will not function
again and must be replaced immediately.
If the air bag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
The SRS consists of:
•
driver and passenger air bag modules (which include the inflators and
air bags),
•
one or more impact and safing sensors, passenger air bag deactivation
switch and diagnostic monitor (RCM)
•
a readiness light and tone,
•
and the electrical wiring which connects the components.
The RCM (restraints control module) monitors its own internal circuits
and the supplemental air bag electrical system warning (including the
passenger air bag deactivation switch, 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 readiness lights in the instrument cluster and the
passenger air bag deactivate switch or a tone to indicate the condition of
the system. Refer to the
Air bag readiness
section in the
Instrumentation
chapter or
Passenger air bag deactivate switch
section in this 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 lights will either
flash or stay lit.
•
The readiness lights 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.
