- When checking air bag system operation, and at completion of each diagnostic test, check for faults in air bag system. To check system, turn ignition switch to ON position. If AIR BAG warning light illuminates for 7 seconds and then goes out, air bag system is functioning properly, and no fault codes exist.
- If AIR BAG warning light does not illuminate, stays on continuously, or flashes continuously, the air bag system is not functioning properly and requires service. See DIAGNOSTICS .
