Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch
The vehicle is equipped with a passenger air bag deactivation switch which can be operated by the customer. When the switch is turned to the ON
position, the passenger air bag is enabled and could inflate in a frontal collision. When the switch is turned to the OFF position, the passenger air bag is
disabled and will not inflate in a frontal collision.
After turning the ignition switch ON, a passenger air bag deactivation switch indicator illuminates on the instrument panel for bulb check. The indicator
will stay lit if the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position. If the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the ON position, the
indicator will turn off after about 7 seconds.
After SRS maintenance or repair, make sure the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the same position (ON or OFF) as when the vehicle arrived
for service.
Activation / Deactivation Passenger Air Bag
If the passenger air bag deactivation switch indicator operation does not correspond to ON/OFF operation of the passenger air bag deactivation switch,
perform self-diagnoses for SRS and repair according to the self-diagnostic failure. Refer to "SRS Operation Check".
If no self-diagnostic failure is detected, replace the passenger air bag deactivation switch including the key cylinder.
