C - Warning Lamp Does Not Come "ON" Steady




Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned "ON", "ignition 1". voltage is applied from the "MA01" meter fuse to the "AIR BAG" warning lamp which is connected to "SRS warning lamp", terminal "7" The "SRS-1" fuse apply system voltage to the "ignition 1" inputs, terminals "12". The SDM responds by flashing the "AIR BAG" warning lamp seven times. If "ignition 1" voltage is more than 16 volts, the "AIR BAG" warning lamp will be still "OFF" solid with no DTCs set.
