Normal Operation





INOPERATIVE WARNING INDICATOR CIRCUIT OR NO IGNITION VOLTAGE TO AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR

The air bag warning indicator is designed to illuminate for six +/- two seconds when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. This initial six seconds of air bag warning indicator illumination (continuous warning indicator) is considered normal operation and is called "prove out" of the air bag warning indicator.

The air bag diagnostic monitor requires power at Pins 1 and 6 in order to energize the air bag warning indicator circuit. If the air bag warning indicator circuit is open or the air bag diagnostic monitor does not have ignition voltage at Pins 1 and 6, the air bag warning indicator will not illuminate.
