Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

On-Demand Self Test

The On-Demand Self Test option is used to verify that no electrical concerns exist with the supplemental air bag system. Upon entering self test, the air bag diagnostic monitor will make an electrical check of each electrical component in the system. If a concern is detected, a DTC is displayed on the NGS Tester or equivalent with a brief description of the DTC. Concerns detected during self test are not stored in memory, unless the same concern was also detected during normal vehicle operation. Self test should always be run after any repair to verify that the repair was successful.
