System Operation Check

  1. Ensure negative battery cable is disconnected and isolated. Connect Diagnostic Read-Out Box III (DRB-III) to 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) located left of steering column at lower edge of instrument panel. Turn ignition switch to ON position and exit vehicle. Ensure latest version of correct DRB cartridge is being used.
  2. After ensuring there is no one inside vehicle, connect negative battery cable. Using DRB, read and record active and any stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If any DTCs are present, diagnose air bag system. Clear DTCs and recheck for DTCs. If a problem still exists DTC data will not clear.
  3. Ignition switch should still be in ON position. Ensure no one is inside vehicle. From a position outside vehicle and away from air bag modules (in case of air bag deployment), turn ignition switch to OFF position for about 10 seconds, and then back to ON position. Observe AIR BAG warning light. It should come on for 6-8 seconds and then go out, indicating system is functioning properly.
  4. If AIR BAG warning light fails to come on, comes on and stays on, or comes on while driving, a system malfunction exists. Perform air bag system self-diagnostics, and repair air bag system.
