Supplemental Restraint System

The SRS is controlled by the RCM, which continually monitors various inputs. When these inputs indicate a frontal or side crash, the RCM may deploy some components, based upon the severity of the crash and the sensor inputs.

Although some deployable devices may not have activated for all occupants during a crash, it does not mean that something is wrong with the SRS.

The RCM performs a self-test of the complete SRS during each startup. In addition to the self-test at start up, the RCM continuously monitors all of the SRS components and circuitry for correct operation.

Airbag Warning Indicator

The airbag warning indicator:

proves out by lighting for 6 seconds and then turning off. flashes and/or illuminates based on the message the IPC receives from the RCM. illuminates if the IPC does not receive a message from the RCM.
