Test A: The Air Bag Warning Indicator is Illuminated Continuously
PINPOINT TEST A: THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLYNormal Operation
During normal operation, the air bag warning indicator will illuminate continuously for 6 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the RUN or ON position. Be sure to cycle the ignition switch and look for a 6-second indicator prove-out without DTCs. The restraints control module (RCM) will communicate to the instrument cluster module to turn the air bag warning indicator ON or OFF via the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN). The RCM will also communicate over the HS-CAN DTCs to the scan tool through the data link connector (DLC).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Instrument cluster module
- RCM
