Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation

The airbag deploys when any of the crash zone sensors and the safing sensor simultaneously activate while the ignition switch is in the On position. Refer to COMPONENT LOCATIONS for SRS component locations.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On or Start positions, the Airbag warning lamp should illuminate for about 7 seconds and then turn Off. This indicates that the SRS is operating normally. A failure is present if the Airbag warning lamp is illuminated for seven seconds then flashes every half second.
