Airbag Readiness Light - Hummer 2008 H2 Owner's Manual

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the center
overhead console, 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 wiring and the crash
sensing and diagnostic module. For more information
on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-64.
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.
3-34
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will flash
for a few seconds.
Then the light should
go out. This means
the system is ready.
CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the airbag system
may not be working properly. The airbags in
your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle
serviced right away if the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should flash for a few seconds
when the engine is started. If the light does not come
on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
