Airbag Warning Lamp

The airbag warning lamp (AWL) is located in the instrument cluster. ACSM system operability is indicated by the AWL lighting up and then going out in during the predrive check. The AWL is controlled by means of a signal from the ACSM to the instrument cluster on the PT-CAN. The instrument cluster receives a signal on a cyclical basis. If the signal fails to materialize, the AWL is activated.
