Air Bag Warning Lamp: Description and Operation
"AIR BAG" WARNING LAMP
The "AIR BAG" warning lamp is located in the combination meter and controlled by SDM.
The "AIR BAG" warning lamp is used in the air bag system to do the following:
-
Verify lamp and SDM operation by flashing six times when the ignition switch is first turned "ON".
-
When SDM detects a trouble, it causes "AIR BAG" indicator light to turn on to warn occurrence of a trouble to the driver. At the same time, it
stores the trouble area in the back-up memory of SDM.
-
When the diagnosis switch terminal is grounded, SDM indicates the trouble area by making "AIR BAG" indicator light flash.
The "AIR BAG" warning lamp is the key to driver notification of air bag system malfunctions. For proper lamp operation, refer to the AIR BAG
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK in this section.
