The safety belt light will
also come on and stay

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The system
checks the airbag's electrical system for malfunctions.
The light indicates if there is an electrical problem.
The system check includes the airbag sensors,
the airbag modules, the wiring, and the diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag system,
see Airbag System on page 1-48.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is
started, or comes on as the vehicle is being driven,
the airbag system may not work properly. Have
the vehicle serviced right away.
This light will come on
when the vehicle is
started, and it will flash for
a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.
This means the system is
functioning properly.
