The SRS is designed to deploy the air bag when the safing sensor and any of the 4 sensors (front crash zone sensor, center crash zone sensor, left crash zone sensor or tunnel sensor) simultaneously make contact, with the ignition switch in the ON position. Air bag deployment will occur in a frontal or near frontal impact of moderate to severe force.
The diagnostic unit monitors the SRS system and stores data, should any faults be detected in the system. When the engine is started or the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, the SRS warning light should illuminate for approximately 7 seconds and then turn OFF. This indicates that the system is operational.
