On-Board Diagnostic/SRS Warning Light Function
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SRS-ECU monitors the SRS system and stores data concerning any detected faults in the system. When the ignition switch is in "ON" or "START" position, the SRS warning light should illuminate for about seven seconds and then turn "OFF". That indicates that the SRS system is in operational order. If the SRS warning light does any of the following, immediate inspection by an authorized dealer is needed.
- The SRS warning light does not illuminate as described above.
- The SRS warning light stays on for more than seven seconds.
- The SRS warning light illuminates while driving.
If a vehicle's SRS warning light is in any of these three conditions when brought in for inspection, the SRS system must be inspected, diagnosed and serviced in accordance with instructions.
