Seating and safety restraints Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. If the air bag is inflated, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. The SRS consists of the following: • driver and passenger air bag modules (which include the inflators and air bags), • one impact and one safing sensor, • a readiness light and secondary warning light, and • the electrical wiring and components. The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical system readiness (including the impact sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air bag backup power, and the air bag ignitors. 90
