driver circuit, which energizes the Light-Emitting
Diode (LED) that illuminates the Off indicator of the
switch. The ACM will also illuminate the Off indica-
tor of the switch for about seven seconds each time
the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a
bulb test. The ACM will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) for any fault it detects in the passenger
airbag on/off switch or Off indicator circuits, and will
illuminate the airbag indicator in the instrument
cluster if a fault is detected. For proper diagnosis of
the passenger airbag on/off switch or the ACM, a
DRBIII scan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
