Air Bag Indicator Test
WARNING:
Deactivate air bag system before performing any service operation involving steering column, seat and instrument panel components. See appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Do not apply electrical power to any component on steering column without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may deploy.
- If AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates for 12 seconds or more, or stays on constantly, a system malfunction exists and trouble code will be stored. For air bag system testing procedures, see DIAGNOSIS & TESTING lemon-25(R) AIR BAG SERVICE & REPAIR MANUAL, DOMESTIC & IMPORTED MODELS.
- If AIR BAG indicator does not illuminate when ignition is on, replace air bag indicator bulb and retest. If AIR BAG indicator still does not illuminate, perform PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS .
- If after performing preliminary diagnosis and actuator test, air bag indicator and instrument cluster circuitry is okay, diagnosis of air bag system and Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus should be performed.
- For air bag system testing procedures, see DIAGNOSIS & TESTING lemon-25(R) AIR BAG SERVICE & REPAIR MANUAL, DOMESTIC & IMPORTED MODELS. For CCD data bus testing, check for opens and shorts in CCD data bus circuits. See DATA LINK CONNECTORS article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.
