Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Prove Out Procedure

Turn the ignition from the OFF to the ON position and monitor the air bag warning indicator with all Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components connected or restraint system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag warning indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will:

- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash.

The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.
