Description of the problem | The problem was not with the air bag, but the front switch that activates the air bags upon impact. When one or both fail the test when you turn the ignition on, it posts a message saying service the air bag system. There is lots of information regarding this on utube. Apparently this is a common problem. I am an electrician and an electronics tech, i know that the air bags will not activate if the crash is on the side with a bad air bag. I had 2 brake light switches go out, at which time the person behind me,would have no idea, i was braking. The switch is a 2 part switch, one part controls the brake light, the other enables or disengages the cruise control system. |
