System Operation Check
If system is functioning normally, INFLATABLE RESTRAINT indicator light will flash 7-9 times and then go off when ignition switch is turned to ON position. Four possible indicator light conditions warn of system failure:
- Light does not glow at all.
- Light comes on while vehicle is driven.
- Light flashes 7-9 times and remains on.
- Light does not flash but remains lit when ignition is turned on.
SIR system faults are usually due to a disconnected/loose electrical connector caused by previous service on vehicle. Always check Yellow connector at base of steering column and/or under right side of instrument panel.
