Air Bag Deactivation Indicator: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
All club cab vehicles include a passenger airbag on/off indicator (3), which is located between the two heater and air conditioner air outlets near the top
of the instrument panel center bezel. The passenger airbag on/off indicator consists of a molded plastic housing with an integral connector receptacle (1)
at the back, an integral latch tab (2) at the top and bottom, and a rectangular dark translucent outer lens.
The opaque text PASS AIRBAG is imprinted in white and always visible on the outer face of the lens, while the opaque text OFF and an opaque
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Passenger Airbag Off or Not Available are imprinted on the back of the lens within the indicator. The
dark outer lens prevents the OFF text and icon from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
lens causes the OFF text and icon to appear silhouetted against an amber field through the translucent lens when the indicator is illuminated from behind
by the LED.
The passenger airbag on/off indicator cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if ineffective or damaged, the indicator unit must be replaced.
