8. Read Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC)
A: OPERATION
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Connect the ground terminal to diagnosis con-
nector terminal No. 1 in the instrument panel lower
cover area.3) Read the DTC by identifying the way airbag
warning light flashes.
The airbag warning light flashes a code corre-
sponding to the faulty parts.
The long segment (1.2 sec on) indicates a “ten”,
and the short segment (0.3 sec on) indicates a
“one”.

4) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, and disconnect
the ground terminal from the diagnosis connector
terminal No 1.
5) Wind tape around the ground terminal and return
it to its original position.

10.Clear Memory Mode
A: OPERATION
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Connect the ground terminal (ground, terminal
“A”) to diagnosis connector terminal No. 1 in the in-
strument panel lower cover area.
3) While the airbag warning light flashes, connect
another ground terminal (ground, terminal “B”) to
diagnosis connector terminal No. 2.
4) Once the memory is erased, the airbag warning
light returns to the normal flash rate (0.6 sec on).
The failure to recover the normal flash rate indi-
cates that trouble parts still remain. Having re-
paired such parts, erase the memory again and
confirm that the normal flash rate has returned.
5) When the memory has been cleared, disconnect
the ground terminal from the diagnosis connector.
6) Wind tape around the ground terminal and return
it to its original position.

Airbag Warning Light Failure
11.Airbag Warning Light Failure
A: AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON.
DIAGNOSIS:
Airbag warning light unit is faulty.
Airbag control module to airbag warning light circuit is shorted or open.
Grounding circuit is faulty.
Airbag control module is faulty.
(AB1) and (B31) are not connected properly.
(AB3) is not connected properly to the airbag control module.
CAUTION:
Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the
ground cable from battery, and wait more than 20 seconds before starting to work.
After replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module or sensor,
reconnect each part and confirm that the airbag warning light operates properly.
When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the airbag module connector of the driver
and passenger seats for safety reasons.
