Air Bag

The AIR BAG indicator lamp will light in order to warn the driver of a potential supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system problem that could prevent the proper deployment of the air bags in an accident. When the ignition switch is first turned on, the lamp will flash seven times. This flashing verifies the proper operation of the lamp circuit and the Sensing and Discriminating Module (SDM). A scan tool can be used in order to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the SDM and to clear all DTCs after repair. For additional information, including service precautions, refer to Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR).
