Airbag Readiness Light There is an airbag readiness light on the Secondary Information Center (SIC), which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag's electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor, the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-56. This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will flash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. The airbags in your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle. The airbag readiness light should flash for a few seconds when you turn the ignition to ON/RUN. If the light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on or flashes when you are driving, your airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away by your dealer/retailer. 3-45
