Rearming the Airbags (page 2 of 3)

Fault codes may be extracted in one of two ways:

Through the upper diagnostics connector using the PDU, or as a series of flashes of the SRS/AIRBAG warning lamp.

Each series of flashes represents a two digit number, representing a fault code from the list below which is recorded in priority order (i.e. If two faults are present, the code nearest the top of the list will flash. Clear the first code, then the second code will flash). Fault analysis procedures for each code are included on the following pages.

• No Airbag warning lamp - Inoperative airbag warning lamp or no ignition voltage to the diagnostic module
• Continuous airbag warning lamp - Diagnostic module disconnected or inoperative, or a seatbelt pretensioner fault (see pretensioner diagnostics).

12 Low battery voltage

13 Airbag circuit shorted to ground

14 Front crash sensor circuit shorted to ground

21 Safing sensor incorrectly mounted in the vehicle

22 Safing sensor output circuit shorted to battery voltage

23 Safing sensor input feed/return open circuit

24 Safing sensor output feed/return open circuit

32 Drivers side airbag circuit high resistance or open circuit

33 Passengers side airbag circuit high resistance or open circuit

34 Drivers side airbag circuit low resistance or short circuit to ground

35 Passenger side airbag circuit low resistance or short circuit to ground

41 Front right crash sensor feed/return open circuit

42 Front left crash sensor feed/return open circuit

44 Front right crash sensor incorrectly mounted on the vehicle

45 Front left crash sensor incorrectly mounted on the vehicle

51 Diagnostic module internal fuse intermittent or short circuit to ground

52 Back-up power supply - overvoltage fault

53 Front crash sensor circuits resistance to ground or internal diagnostic module failure

• Rapid continuous flashing of the airbag lamp (no fault code)- all front crash sensors disconnected
