- Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect one diagnostic terminal to terminal No. 9 of Black diagnostic connector, located below lower left pillar cover. See Fig 1 .
- 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 (0.3 second) indicates a one. For example, a long flash followed by 2 short flashes would indicate Code 12. Code will be displayed 3 times, with a 1.5-second pause between codes. Retrieve and record codes. Turn ignition off, remove diagnostic terminal, and perform appropriate test. See AIR BAG CODE IDENTIFICATION table.
