Air Bag Warning Light

You will want to have the air bags ready to
inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air
Bag Warning Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated with air

bag system electrical components. While the air bag system
is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following
occurs, have an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
• The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on for

approximately four to eight seconds when the ignition
switch is first turned to ON/RUN.

• The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the

approximate four to eight-second interval.

• The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or

remains on while driving.

NOTE:

If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine

related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The air bags may
not be ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly
check the fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to the label
located on the inside of the fuse block cover for the
proper air bag fuses. See your authorized dealer if the
fuse is good.
