Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
An airbag indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, the instrument cluster can be programmed to disable this indicator on
vehicles that are not equipped with the airbag system, which is not available in some markets. On Dodge vehicles, this indicator is located near the
bottom of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay, just left of center. On Chrysler vehicles, this indicator is located near the upper right corner of
the cluster overlay, above the engine temperature gauge.
The airbag indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Airbag in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The airbag indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
