Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an electrical problem with the airbag system. The system check includes the airbag sensor(s), passenger sensing system, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, the wiring, and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System .
The airbag readiness light comes on for several seconds when the vehicle is started. If the light does not come on then, have the vehicle fixed immediately.
WARNING
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag system might not be working properly. The
airbags in the vehicle might not inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury, have the vehicle serviced right away.
