Air Bag Indicator Flashes Continuously
Air Bag Indicator Flashes Continuously
Circuit Description
The ignition switch supplies battery voltage to the AIR BAG indicator using the AM2 fuse. The AIR BAG indicator is connected to the AIR BAG indicator control circuit of the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position, the SDM responds by illuminating the AIR BAG indicator for approximately 6 seconds while performing diagnostic tests on the SIR system.
Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction.
The following are possible causes of the malfunction:
* A short to ground in the diagnostic request circuit
* An internal SDM malfunction
If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
