System Operation Check

If system is functioning normally, AIR BAG warning light flashes 7 times and then turns off when ignition is turned on. System malfunction is indicated when light does not illuminate at all, light comes on while vehicle is driven, light flashes 7 times and remains on or light does not flash but remains on when ignition is turned on.

SIR system faults are usually due to a disconnected or loose electrical connector caused by previous service on vehicle. Always check SIR coil connector at base of steering column for loose or damaged wiring.
