Airbag Warning Lamp

Warning lamp, AIRBAG

AIR BAG:

Schematic:

The AIRBAG warning lamp is located in the right-hand part of the main instrument unit. This lamp informs the driver when a fault occurs in the Airbag system. The central warning lamp serves as a second airbag warning lamp and does not go out until all its warning inputs are normal.

The AIRBAG warning lamp is powered with +15 from the main instrument unit and is internally grounded via the main instrument unit.

The AIRBAG warning lamp and the central warning lamp will come on if a fault occurs in the system and at engine speeds above 310 rpm, MIU will send a request to SID to activate the acoustic signal.

If the Airbag system has been activated - sent detonating current to the explosive charges in the gas generators - the AIRBAG Warning lamp and central warning lamp will light up and stay on.

The airbag control module lights the lamp when the ignition is turned on. If there are no faults, the lamp will go out after about 3 seconds.

Diagnostics
An open circuit/short circuit sets a diagnostic trouble code in the Airbag control module.
