Safe owner checks

  • Do not probe, unplug, bypass or repair airbag connectors.
  • Arrange qualified inspection; a warning may indicate impaired crash protection.

Questions for a qualified technician

  • What exact restraint-module fault and approved procedure apply?

Common wrong turns

  • A passenger-airbag-off status indicator is not automatically an SRS fault.
  • Do not install resistors to extinguish the warning.

Confirm the repair

  • Approved restraint diagnostics and repair verification are required.
