Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation
Circuit DescriptionOnly authorized service personnel should do work on or around the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components.
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is a safety device, which, when used in conjunction with the seat belts, is designed to protect the driver and front seat passenger by deploying air bags when the car receives a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit.
With the ignition switch in ON or START, battery voltage is applied to the SRS control module from fuse 3 and to the SRS indicator in the instrument cluster from fuse 12.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. the SRS indicator in the instrument cluster will flash six times.
If the SRS indicator does not flash six times, stays on, or comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly.
