Warning Lamp Activation





Warning Lamp Activation

Warning lamp behavior after ignition ON
As soon as the operating voltage is applied to the SRSCM ignition input, the SRSCM activates the warning lamp for a bulb check.
The lamp shall turn on for 6 seconds during the initialization phase and be turned off afterward.
However, in order to indicate the driver, the warning lamp shall turn on for 6 seconds and off for one second then on continuously after the operating voltage is applied if any active fault exists.
If the variant coding is not performed, the airbag warning lamp is periodically blinking (ON: 0.5sec., OFF: 0.5sec.).
If the variant coding is normally performed, the airbag warning lamp normally operates.
1. Active fault or historical fault counter is greater or equal to 10




2. Normal or historical fault counter is less than 10.




3. SRSCM Variant Coding not performed.





SRSCM Independent warning lamp activation
There are certain fault conditions in which the SRSCM cannot function and thus cannot control the operation of the standard warning lamp. In these cases, the standard warning lamp is directly activated by appropriate circuitry that operates independently of the SRSCM. These cases are:
1. Loss of battery supply to the SRSCM : warning lamp turned on continuously.
2. Loss of internal operating voltage : warning lamp turned on continuously.
3. Loss of Microprocessor operation : warning lamp turned on continuously.
4. SRSCM not connected : warning lamp turned on continuously through the shorting bar.
