System Operation Check

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
NOTE: For DRB usage, see ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS  under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
  1. Disconnect negative battery cable, and tape cable end. Connect DRB to ACM data link connector. ACM data link connector is located under lower left side of instrument panel. Install latest version of proper DRB cartridge.
  2. Turn ignition on. Exit vehicle with DRB. After ensuring no one is inside vehicle, reconnect negative battery cable.
  3. Using DRB, read and record active fault codes. Read and record any stored fault codes. Erase stored fault codes if there are no active fault codes. If problem remains, fault codes will not erase. Turn ignition off.
  4. Turn ignition on again and observe AIR BAG warning light. AIR BAG warning light should come on for 6-8 seconds, then go out, indicating system is functioning properly. If AIR BAG warning light either fails to illuminate, or comes on and stays on, a system malfunction exists. Perform self-diagnostics. See DIAGNOSIS & TESTING  .
