Starting System: Service Precautions

1. Place ignition switch in lock position.
2. Disconnect and tape battery ground cable connector.
3. Wait at least 1 minute after disconnecting battery ground cable before performing any further repairs on vehicle. The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy airbag for a short time even after battery has been disconnected.
4. After repairs are performed, connect battery ground cable.
5. From passenger side of vehicle, turn ignition switch to On position.
6. SRS warning light should illuminate for 6 to 8 seconds, then remain off for at least 45 seconds to indicate if SRS system is functioning correctly.
7. If SRS indicator does not perform as described, refer to Air Bags and Seat Belts/Air Bags (Supplemental Restraint Systems).
