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.

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

A: BASIC DIAGNOSTICS PROCEDURE
1) Airbag warning light comes “ON”.
2) Turn ignition switch to “ON”, (engine “OFF”) and observe airbag warning light.
3) If airbag warning light stays “ON” after 8 seconds or remains “OFF”, or comes back “ON” after 30 seconds, this indicates a current
problem. Proceed to step 8).
If airbag warning light comes “ON” for 8 seconds, then goes out and stays out, this indicates normal system operation at this time.
Check the memory for intermittent problems by performing the procedure outlined in 5-5b [T4B0] “ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS”. Pro-
ceed to step 4).
4) If trouble code indicated, proceed to step 5).
If normal code indicated, proceed to step 6).
5) Repair and replacement, proceed to step 7).
6) Repair and replacement, proceed to step 7).
7) Turn ignition switch “ON”, (engine “OFF”) and observe airbag warning light. If airbag warning light stays “ON” after 8 seconds or
comes back “ON” after 30 seconds, proceed to step 8).
If airbag warning light comes “ON” for 8 seconds, then goes out and stays out, proceed to step 9).
8) Repair and replacement. Proceed to step 10).
