Restraints and Safety Systems: Description and Operation








TELLTALE LAMP ACTIVATION





The Telltale Lamp indicates that the Passenger Airbag (PAB) is available or disabled. If the passenger seat is empty or occupied with child (or child seat), the Passenger Airbag is disabled and the Telltale Lamp is turned ON to inform the driver that the PAB is disabled.

As soon as operating voltage is applied to the SRSCM ignition input, the SRSCM activates the Telltale Lamp prove out. After the prove out is complete, the telltale lamp will be turned on when the OC system requires suppression.
Classification information and telltale status are as below table





After ignition on telltale lamp will turn on 4 second continuously, and then it will be turned off.




In case that OCS(Occupant classification system) informs to SRSCM it's status as Class 0 or Class 1, the telltale lamp will blink 1 time(3 sec) after 4 second from ignition on, and after that it will be turned on.
