AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTThe air bags must be ready to inflate for your
protection in a collision. The Occupant Re-
straint Controller (ORC) monitors the inter-
nal circuits and interconnecting wiring asso-
ciated with air bag system electrical components.
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 bags 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 sec-
onds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first
turned to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check,
the Air Bag Warning 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 mal-
function is detected that could affect the air bag sys-
tem. The diagnostics 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 immedi-
ately.
• The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during
the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to 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 Re-
straint 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.
