On-Demand Self Test

The On-Demand Self-Test option is used to verify that no electrical concerns exists with the air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Upon entering the self-test, the Restraint Control Module (RCM) will make an electrical check of each electrical component in the system. If a concern is detected, a DTC is displayed on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester with a brief description of the DTC. Concerns detected during the self-test are not stored in its memory, unless the same concern was also detected during normal vehicle operation. The self-test should always be run after any repair to verify that the repair was successful.
