Blinking air bag light

Hayn Titan · 08-25-2006, 08:26 AM

Has anyone had their air bag light go on blinking? It just started for no reason yesterday and I scheduled an appointment with the dealer but I'm just curious if it happened to anyone else. I didn't bang anything.

Have you done anything having to do with the stereo recently?

Usually this happen when one take of the radio bezel to do some work, but if yours just come on for no reason you might want to take it to the dealer.

Try the reset procedure first to see if it help.

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.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.
