So my airbag light has been on for like two years and I'm finally fed up with it. I heard you can put it into diagnostic mode and count the lights, but I can't find anywhere to decode the sequences. Does anyone know where I can find a list of sequences and there meanings, or tell me what eight one second flashes followed by a two or three second flash means.

 

Bump?

 

The following procedure is only for a flashing airbag light. If your airbag light stays on solid, you need to have it diagnosed, it could be a sensor or a connection among other things.

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

 

Yeah I know how to reset it, I put it into diagnostic mode and got the sequence but I can't find anywhere that says what sequence means what and I really don't want to take it to the stealership and pay $100 for something I could've found out for free
