System Operation Check

If system is functioning normally, AIR BAG warning light flashes 7 times and then turns off when ignition switch is turned ON. System malfunction is indicated when light does not illuminate at all, comes on while vehicle is driven, flashes 7 times and remains on, or does not flash but remains on when ignition switch is turned on.

SIR system faults are usually due to a disconnected or loose electrical connector caused by previous service on vehicle. Always check SIR coil connector at base of steering column for loose or damaged wiring.
