Airbag Readiness Light; Passenger Airbag Status Indicator - Chevrolet 2006 Tahoe Owner's Manual

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag's electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the airbag
sensors, the airbag modules, the passenger sensing
system (if equipped), the wiring and the crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more information on the
airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-72.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start
the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly. Have your
vehicle serviced right away.
This light will come
on when you start
your vehicle, and it
will flash for a few
seconds. This means
the system is ready.

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

If your vehicle has a passenger sensing system,
your rearview mirror will have a passenger airbag
status indicator.
