N - No Air Bag Indicator

Electrical Schematic:






Normal Operation
The air bag indicator is designed to illuminate for 6 (±2) seconds when the ignition switch lock cylinder is turned to the ON position. This initial 6 seconds of air bag indicator illumination (continuous) is considered normal operation and is called prove out of the air bag indicator.

The air bag diagnostic monitor requires power at pins 1 and 6 in order to energize the air bag indicator circuit. If the air bag indicator circuit is open or the air bag diagnostic monitor does not have battery positive voltage at pins 1 and 6, the air bag indicator will not illuminate.

Possible Causes
A No Air Bag Indicator condition can be caused by:
1. A burned out bulb or an open circuit in the wiring for air bag indicator circuit.
2. Loss of battery positive voltage at pins 1 and 6 of the air bag diagnostic monitor.
