System monitors
A diagnostic system continually monitors the readi-
ness of the seatbelt pretensioner while the vehicle is
being driven. The seatbelt pretensioners share the
control module with the SRS airbag system. There-
fore, if any malfunction occurs in a seatbelt preten-
sioner, the SRS airbag system warning light will illumi-
nate. The SRS airbag system warning light will show
normal system operation by lighting for about 6 sec-
onds when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The following components are monitored by the indi-
cator:
"
Front sub sensor (Right hand side)
"
Front sub sensor (Left hand side)
"
Airbag control module (including impact sensors)
"
Seatbelt pretensioner (driver’s side)
"
Seatbelt pretensioner (Passenger’s side)
"
All related wiring
"
And all other airbag components
In the event of a malfunction indicated by any of follow-
ing, the vehicle should be taken promptly to your near-
est SUBARU dealer to have the system checked. Un-
less checked and repaired, the seatbelt pretensioners
and SRS airbag will not function reliably:
"
Flashing or flickering of the indicator light.
"
No illumination of the warning light when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” position.
"
Continuous illumination of the warning light.
"
Illumination of the warning light while driving.
