Retrieving Codes

  1. Turn ignition switch to ON position (with engine off). Connect diagnostic terminal "A" to diagnosis connector terminal No. 1. Diagnostic connector is located below lower instrument cover panel (near console). See Fig 1.
  2. 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.
  3. Code will be displayed 3 times, with a 1.5-second pause between codes. Read and record codes. Turn ignition off, remove diagnostic terminal, and perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC TESTS .
