Circuit/System Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: The passenger air bag ON and OFF indicators may not operate as expected if there are supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) DTCs. Repair all SIR DTC before proceeding with this diagnostic.
  1. Ignition ON, the passenger air bag ON and OFF indicators should both illuminate for approximately 5 seconds for a bulb check.
  2. Monitor the parameter Passenger Classification in Passenger Presence System with a scan tool. With the passenger seat unoccupied, the parameter should display Empty Seat. The passenger air bag OFF indicator should illuminate.
  3. Apply enough weight on the passenger seat to change the parameter display to Small. The passenger air bag OFF indicator should remain illuminated.
  4. Apply additional weight to change the parameter display to Large. The passenger air bag indicator should switch from OFF to ON within 5 seconds.
