B: ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
When the airbag system is in functioning condition, the
airbag warning light will remain on for 8 seconds and go out
when the ignition switch is set to ON.
If there is any malfunction, the airbag warning light will
either stay on or off continuously. In such cases, perform
on-board diagnostic in accordance with the specified pro-
cedure to determine trouble codes.
1) Turn ignition switch ON (with engine OFF).
2) Connect DIAG. terminal
1to No. 1 terminal of diagno-
sis connector
2located below lower cover.
3) Check in accordance with the trouble code indicated by
the AIRBAG warning light, and record the trouble codes.
4) Turn the ignition switch “OFF” and remove the DIAG.
terminal from No.1 terminal of diagnosis connector.
B5M0116B
C: CLEAR MEMORY
After eliminating problem as per trouble code, clear
memory as follows:
Make sure ignition switch is ON (and engine off). Connect
one DIAG. terminal
1on diagnosis connector2terminal
No. 1.
While warning light is flashing, connect the other DIAG.
terminal
3on terminal No. 2 for at least three seconds.
After memory is cleared, normal warning light flashing rate
resumes. (Warning light flashes every 0.6 seconds ON-
OFF operation.) Memory cannot be cleared if any problem
exists.
After clear memory and then DIAG. terminals
