CONTINUOUS AIR BAG MIL LAMP ILLUMINATION
Inoperative Lamp Circuit or No Ignition to the Diagnostic
Module
Normal Operation
The air bag MIL Lamp is designed to illuminate for approximately six seconds when the ignition is switched 'on'; this
time has been allocated to prove the MIL Lamp operation. If, after this proving period, the DM detects faults within
the system the MIL Lamp will illuminate and 'AIR BAG' will be displayed to the driver. If the MIL Lamp remains ON constantly, for over 8 seconds after ignition switch on, a fault is present within the indicator circuit.
Poor connection, or disconnection, of the indicator harness will cause
a short between pins 4 and 5, connecting the
circuit to ground and giving constant illumination of the MIL Lamp.
Faulty operation
ofthe DM internal logic may fail to turn off the indicator control circuit and cause constant illumination
of the MIL Lamp.
Fault Diagnosis
1. DM connectors
8 Disarm the SRS system.
8 Inspect the DM connectors.
2. MIL Lamp short circuit.
8 Disconnect the DM.
8 Remove the plastic locking wedge from the grey DM connector.
Switch on the ignition.
8 If the MIL Lamp is not illuminated, go to step 3.
If the MIL Lamp is illuminated; short circuit to ground between pin 45 instrument pack to pin 4 DM (Y / W). Rectify
8 Arm and verify the SRS system.

FAULTCODE 14
Front Impact Sensor Circuit Shorted to Ground
Normal Operation
The DM monitors voltage level at pins 2 and 6. If this voltage falls to 5 volts, or less, the MIL Lamp will illuminate and
fault code 14 will be present, indicating a short circuit to ground on either of the two front impact sensorcircuits. During
the presence of fault code 14 the DM internal thermal fuse will blow, disabling the air bag deployment circuit. If voltage
to pins
2 and 6 is restored after the fuse has blown,fault code 51, open internal fuse will be present. Fault code 14 will
be present only as long as the short to ground remains.
Possible Causes
Short to ground in any of the following circuits:
0 Front impact sensor wiring.
0 Disconnection, or poor connection of harness.
0 Front impact sensors internal ground.
Fault Diagnosis
1. Sub-circuit identification
. Disarm SRS system.
. Remove plastic locking wedge from the grey DM connector.
. Measure resistance between connector pin 3 and all of the following pins; 2,6, 17 and 18.
9 Does any resistance reading indicate short circuit ?
Yes - Renew faulty sensor.
No - Examine sensor wiring harness, locate and rectify faults as necessary.
Proceed to fault code 51 on successful diagnosis.

FAULT CODE 53
Front Impact Sensor Circuits Resistance to Ground or Internal Diagnostic Monitor Failure
Normal Operation
The DM measures the voltage on pins 2,6,17 and 18. If there is any resistance to ground on any of these pins or across
the front impact sensors contacts, it will cause the diagnostic voltage on these pins to drop below normal levels. If the
DM measures voltage drop to between 5 and 10 volts, the DM senses an internal voltage regulation failure and code
53 will be present.
A direct short to ground in the front impact sensor circuits
will drop the voltage to less than 5 volts and code 14 will
be present.
!!IQ&: The DM also performs several system self-tests every ignition cycle. If any of these tests fail, fault code 53 will
be present.
Fault Diagnosis
1. System verification
. Disarm the SRS system.
. Disconnect the battery ground lead, allow one minute for DM back-up power to drain.
. Disconnect the DM.
Remove the plastic locking wedge from the grey harness multi-plug connector.
= Measure the resistance between pin 3 (ground) and the following circuits:
. Pin2(ON)
. Pin 6 (VU)
. Pin 17 (KU)
* Pin 18 (KG)
. Are all circuit readings infinite (open circuit) ?
Yes - Renew DM.
No
- Proceed to step 2.
