Airbag Warning Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The airbag warning indicator:
- proves out by lighting for 6 seconds and then turning off.
- flashes and/or illuminates based on the message the IPC receives from the RCM.
- illuminates if the IPC does not receive a message from the RCM.
When the ignition is turned ON during normal operation, the IPC illuminates the airbag warning indicator continuously for 6 seconds. If the SRS is free of faults, the airbag warning indicator turns off and remains off. If a SRS fault exists, the airbag warning indicator illuminates and remains illuminated for the rest of the ignition cycle. The RCM communicates with the IPC via the HS-CAN. The IPC illuminates the airbag warning indicator based on messaging from the RCM. The IPC also illuminates the airbag warning indicator if there is no communication between the RCM and IPC.
