All vehicles
The control module detects malfunctions and
errors in the airbag system and stores them in
permanent memory.
After the ignition is switched on, the airbag
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K75- lights for
about 4 seconds and then goes out.
If the airbag Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -
K75- does not go out after approximately 4
seconds, the voltage supply for the airbag
control module -J234- is not OK. Check DTC
memory page 01
-11
.
If the airbag Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -
K75- goes out after 4 seconds and then lights
again, either the control module is not coded,
an incorrect control module has been installed
or a malfunction is present. Check DTC
memory page 01
-11
.
CAUTION!
Wiring must only be checked visually!
Do not perform an electrical continuity check
or circuit analysis!
