Pass Airbag On/Off Indicator: Description
Vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) include a passenger airbag on/off indicator (3), which is located below the passenger side inboard air outlet on the instrument panel above the glove box. The passenger airbag on/off indicator consists of a molded plastic housing with an integral connector receptacle (1) at the back, an integral latch tab (2) on each side, and a rectangular dark translucent outer lens.
The opaque text "PASS AIRBAG OFF" and an opaque International Control and Display Symbol icon for "Passenger Airbag Off or Not Available" are imprinted on the back of the lens within the indicator. The dark outer lens prevents the indicator text and icon from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the lens causes the "PASS AIRBAG OFF" text and icon to appear silhouetted against an amber field through the translucent lens when the indicator is illuminated from behind by the LED.
The passenger airbag on/off indicator cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the indicator unit must be replaced.
