There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag's electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the air bag system, see "Air
Bag" in the Index.
AIR BAG
This light will come on
when you start your engine,
and it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
engine or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to RUN.
If
the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
When you turn the key to
RUN, this light will come
on briefly to show that the
generator and battery
charging systems are
working.
If
this light stays on, you need service and you should
take
your Cadillac to the dealer at once. To save your
battery until you get there, turn off all accessories.
