The document provides instructions for checking airbag codes on a vehicle. It explains that if the airbag light flashes after 7 seconds, diagnostic codes need to be run, but if it does not shut off, the airbag ECM needs replacement. It outlines the three diagnostic modes - User mode, Present mode for viewing codes, and Initial mode for viewing cleared codes. Instructions are given for entering each mode and exiting modes by turning the ignition on/off and activating the driver's door switch within 7 seconds. Codes 1 through 9 are listed to indicate which part of the airbag system has a fault.

Checking Airbag Codes!

If your airbag light flashes after 7 secs, then you need to run the airbag diagnostic codes, if your airbag light does not
shut off after 7 secs then the airbag ECM needs to be replaced. To run the codes you must enter the first diagnostic
mode, from there you can read the number of light flashed to see what the problem is. The second diagnostic mode is
meant to show what codes have been cleared, and is not useful for diagnosing problem.

There are 3 modes for the airbag ECM diagnostic unit:


User (Normal)
Present (Diagnostic Mode 1)
Initial (Diagnostic Mode 2)

User (Normal):
This is the mode your car is in when it is not in diagnostic mode, it needs to be left in this mode for proper use of the
SRS system, be sure to return the ECM to this mode after completing diagnostics.
Present (Diagnostic Mode 1):
This mode will display the codes causing the error in the SRS system, the number of short flashes of the airbag light
corresponds to the error code.
Initial (Diagnostic Mode 2):
This mode is only useful to see what codes have been cleared, it will also show what code is causing the problem.

Most people, if ever, will only need to enter mode 1, follow the instructions below, simply ignoring the mode 2
instructions.

To enter Diagnostic Mode 1 you will need to activate the drivers side door switch(located in the door jamb near the
latch striker) at least 5 times within 7 seconds after the ignition is turn to on.

To enter Diagnostic Mode 2 you will need to turn the key off then back to on, then activate the drivers side door switch
once AFTER the ignition has been turned on for 7 secs.

To exit Diagnostic Mode 2 you will need to turn the key off then back to on, then activate the drivers side door switch
once AFTER the ignition has been turned on for 7 secs.

To exit Diagnostic Mode 1 you will need to turn the key off then back to on, then activate the drivers side door
switch(located in the door jamb near the latch striker) at least 5 times within 7 seconds after the ignition is turn to on.

Now for a visualadaptation from the FSM)

Before switching between the modes shown above remember to turn the key off then on, otherwise the system cannot
accept the door switch inputs.

After switching to mode 1 the "Airbag" light will flash once long, indicating the code series is about to start, the
following number of short flashes is the number of the code causing the error in the SRS system. If the airbag light
flashes on for 2 secs and off for 3 secs then that indicates no problem, or an intermittent problem.
