System Operation Check
- When checking air bag system operation, and upon completion of each diagnostic test, check for faults in air bag system. To check system, turn ignition switch to RUN position. If AIR BAG warning light illuminates for 4-8 seconds and then goes out, air bag system is functioning properly and no fault exist.
- If a fault is detected in air bag system during initial system self-check, AIR BAG warning light will either fail to light, stay on continuously or flash indicating system service is required. See DIAGNOSTICS . Additionally, if a system fault exists and AIR BAG warning light fails to light, an audible tone will be heard, indicating AIR BAG warning light is inoperative and system service is required.
