Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

After disconnecting the battery cable, wait 60 seconds or more before proceeding with the following work. The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery has been disconnected, so serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cables are disconnected.

SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK / AFTER REPAIRS INSPECTION
1. Reconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Does the "SRS" warning light illuminate for approximately seven seconds, and then go out?
4. If yes, the SRS system is functioning properly. If no, refer to SRS Warning Light Check.
