You will want to have the air bags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air Bag Warning Light monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components. While the air bag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the air bag system immediately.
• The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during the four to eight seconds
when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position.
• The Air BagWarning Light remains on after the four to eight-second interval.
• The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE: If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working,
the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The air bags may not
be ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly check the Body Control Module
(BCM) fuse block inside the vehicle for blown fuses. Refer to the label located
on the inside of the fuse block cover for the proper air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
