Tone Generator

Tone Generator
The air bag readiness indicator is the prime means of determining the air bag system status. However, if the air bag indicator is inoperative and an air bag system fault exists, a tone will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be serviced before further diagnosing and testing can be completed. Unless serviced, the Supplemental Air Bag Restraint System may not function properly in the event of an accident.
