Retrieving Codes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Toyota Tercel. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
If jumper wire is incorrectly connected across terminals of Data Link Connector (DLC), system may be damaged. Use Diagnosis Check Wiring (09843-18020) when connecting terminals of DLC.
- Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. Wait about 20 seconds. Use Diagnosis Check Wiring (09843-18020) to connect terminals Tc and E1 of Data Link Connector (DLC). See DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC) LOCATION table. See Fig 1.
- If air bag warning light does not flash codes, go to CODES NOT DISPLAYED under DIAGNOSIS. If air bag warning light flashes continuously at a rate of 2 times per second, source voltage is low. Go to NO CODES, SOURCE VOLTAGE DROP under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
- If air bag warning light flashes codes, count number of flashes to determine codes that are set. For example, Code 12 is: FLASH, pause, FLASH, FLASH. If more than one code is displayed, a 2.5-second pause will occur between each code. Lowest numbered codes will be displayed, followed by higher numbered codes.
- After all codes are displayed, a 4-second pause will occur, and codes will be repeated. See INTERPRETING CODES . See appropriate CODE under TROUBLE SHOOTING . After servicing, clear codes. See CLEARING CODES .
NOTE:
If codes other than those listed under INTERPRETING CODES are displayed, replace center air bag sensor. If air bag warning light does not function as described, go to appropriate CODES NOT DISPLAYED or CODES CONTINUOUSLY DISPLAYED under DIAGNOSIS.
