Entering Self-Diagnostics

  1. On Legacy, connect one of 2 diagnostic terminals to terminal No. 1 of diagnostic connector. Diagnostic connector is located below lower instrument cover (near console). See Fig 1 .
  2. On SVX, connect one of 2 diagnostic terminals to terminal No. 9 of diagnostic connector. Diagnostic connector is located behind left side kick panel. See Fig 2 . On all models, turn ignition switch to ON position.
  3. Read diagnostic codes by noting number of air bag warning light flashes. A long flash (1.2 seconds) indicates a 10 and a short flash (.3 seconds) indicates a one. For example, a long flash followed by 2 short flashes would indicate a Code 12. Code will be displayed 3 times with a 1.5-second pause in between codes. Identify code, and perform test as specified. See AIR BAG CODE IDENTIFICATION table.
