Prove Out System

CAUTION: Before attempting diagnostic prove out, check all sensors and wiring for damage or shorts that could cause the air bag diagnostic monitor thermal fuse to blow (open), causing unnecessary replacement.

After all service is completed, verify the air bag indicator operation as follows:
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Count the air bag indicator flashes after the code (series of flashes) has cycled twice.
- If the air bag indicator illuminates continuously for four to eight seconds and then goes out, the air bag system is functioning properly and all faults have been serviced. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate, illuminates continuously for four to eight seconds then displays a series of flashes, remains continuously illuminated, or sounds at a tone (five sets of five beeps), there is a malfunction in the air bag system.
