THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. A DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE (LOCATED IN THE DASH BOARD, BEHIND THE RADIO) WAS NOT WORKING. THIS IS NOT A SERVICEABLE PART.

IF THE ENGINE THREW A ROD OR THE TRANS WENT OUT, MY TOUGH LUCK. BUT I THINK SAFETY THINGS SUCH AS AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE LIFE TIME WARRANTIES. *TR
