Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Testing and Inspection

1. Check that the SRS warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
2. Check that it illuminates for approximately 7 seconds and then switches off.
3. If the above is not the case, check the diagnostic trouble codes.





The diagnostic unit monitors the SRS system and stores data concerning any detected faults in the system. When the ignition key is in ON" or "START" position, the SRS warning light should illuminate for about 7 seconds and then turn oft. That indicates that the SRS system is in operational order. If the SRS warning light does any of the following, immediate inspection by an authorized dealer is needed.

(1) The SRS warning light does not illuminate as described above.
(2) The SRS warning light stays on for more than 7 seconds.
(3) The SRS warning light illuminates while driving.

If a vehicle's SRS warning light is in any of these three conditions when brought in for inspection, the SRS system must be inspected, diagnosed and serviced.
