A: AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON
DETECTING CONDITION:
•Airbag warning light is faulty.
•Airbag control module to airbag warning light circuit is shorted or open.
•Grounding circuit is faulty.
•Airbag control module is faulty.
•Connection of (AB1) and (B31) is improper.

nector (AB6)?
If the poor contact
of the connector is
not fixed, replace
the airbag main
harness with body
harness or replace
the airbag control
module. AB-21, Airbag
Control Module.>

ness U to body harness connector (AB6).
4) Measure the resistance between connector
(2U) in the test harness U and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2U) No. 10 — Chassis ground:
(2U) No. 11 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?
