WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saab 9-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition on. AIR BAG warning light should come on for 3-4 seconds and then go out. If light remains on, or does not come on at all, fault exists in system. Go to DIAGNOSTICS  .
  2. If fault occurs in system while ignition is on, AIR BAG warning light will come on and stay on. If Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in memory, AIR BAG warning light will come on for 3-4 seconds, go off for half a second then turn back on until ignition switch if turned off or DTC is cleared. If air bags or seat belt pretensioners have deployed, AIR BAG warning light will come on and stay on.
  3. When diagnosing DTCs, be sure to leave ignition switch in ON position for at least 10 seconds after AIR BAG warning light goes out. This allows air bag system control module enough time to finish diagnostic checks and verify proper system operation.
