Air Bag Warning Light

The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic

parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition

switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If

the ignition switch is in the OFF position or in the

ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags

will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply system that may

deploy the air bag system even if the battery loses power or

it becomes disconnected prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the

instrument panel for approximately four to eight seconds

for a self-check when the ignition switch is first in the

ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warn-

ing Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in

any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning

Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single chime

will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after

initial startup.

The ORC also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the

instrument panel Air Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is

detected that could affect the air bag system. The diagnos-

tics also record the nature of the malfunction. While the air

bag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the

following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the air

bag system immediately.

The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during the

four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is first in

the ON/RUN position.

The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to

eight-second interval.

The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or

remains on while driving.

NOTE:

If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine

related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint

Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition

the air bags may not be ready to inflate for your protection.

Have an authorized dealer service the air bag system

immediately.
