-
If the indicator blinks two times and then stays on, the OPDS unit is initialized, but the DTCs need to be erased. Go to step 9, then erase the
DTCs.
-
If the indicator blinks two times and then goes off, the OPDS unit is initialized. Go to step 9.
-
If the indicator stays on without first blinking, the OPDS is not initialized. Read the DTC. If DTC 15-1 is indicated, repeat the initialization
procedure. If another DTC is indicated, go to the appropriate DTC Troubleshooting Index. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/DTC List - Supplemental Restraint System
