Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
Prove Out Procedure
PROVE OUT PROCEDURE
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the ON position and visually monitor the air bag indicator with all SRS components connected or restraint
system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an SRS fault is present,
the air bag indicator will:
-
fail to light.
-
remain lit continuously.
-
flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag indicator may not illuminate until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This
is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a
pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.
