are not properly restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time
of airbag deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be
properly restrained as far away from the airbag module as possible while
maintaining vehicle control.
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 airbag modules (which include the inflators and
airbags)
•
side airbags. Refer to
Side airbag system
later in this chapter
•
safety belt pretensioners
•
one or more impact and safing sensors
•
a readiness light and tone
•
and the electrical wiring which connects the components
The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the
supplemental airbag electrical system wiring (including the impact
sensors), the system wiring, the airbag system readiness light, the airbag
back up power, the airbag ignitors and safety belt pretensioners.
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 the
Airbag readiness
section in the
Instrument cluster
chapter. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
Any 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 to the RUN position
