  • If codes are related to the driver airbag circuits, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
Turn the ignition off, wait five seconds, turn the ignition on, wait one minute and read active codes.If there are none present, read the stored codes.

Reconnect any disconnected components and harness connector, except the battery.

Warning : Turn the ignition on, then reconnect the 12 volt battery and wait two minutes before proceding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

Wait one minute, and read active codes, if there are none present, read the stored codes. If numerous trouble codes were set, use a schematic and inspect any common ground or supply circuits.
