Prove Out System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To prove out system, turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN position and visually monitor the AIR BAG warning light with air bag modules installed. The Restraints Control Module (RCM) module illuminates the AIR BAG warning light for 6 seconds and then turns it off. If the AIR BAG warning light does not illuminate, stays on or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the RCM and further service is needed.
