DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using the "AIR BAG" warning lamp and/or CONSULT The reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes - "User mode" and "Diagnosis mode".
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system malfunction through the operation of the "AIR BAG" warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
