Glossary of Terms
Air Bag SimulatorAir bag simulators are used to simulate air bag module connections to the system.
NOTE: Air bag simulators are required to carry out diagnosis and testing of the air bag system. This tool is a 2.5 ohm resistor used to simulate an air bag module connection to the system. It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module connections with a 0 ohm jumper wire. If a 0 ohm jumper wire is used to short-circuit the air bag module connections, an LFC will be displayed.
Deactivate the System
Deactivate the system means to carry out the deactivation procedure, REFER to Deactivation Procedure. Deactivation Procedures
Prove Out the System
Prove out the system means to turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN and visually monitor the air bag indicator with all air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will illuminate continuously for approximately three seconds. If an air bag system fault is detected, the air bag indicator will do one of the following.
^ fail to illuminate
^ illuminate continuously
^ flash
Reactivate the System
Reactivate the system means to carry out the reactivation procedure. REFER to Reactivation Procedure. Reactivation Procedures
