I dont know what happened lol... usually it turns off a couple of seconds after i start the car but for the past couple of days it just stays on. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it ? please get back to me.. it's a real pain. thanks in advance !!
do a search this comes up every couple of weeks.. but I can tell you what I know anyway..
#1 count the flashes when you start the car. this will tell you what is wrong.
#2. depending on if it is a hard or intermittent code changes what you need to do to celar it.
for more info go here:
It would be a good idea to count the number of flashes like already said, so you could at least pinpoint the problem.
But if you're tired of looking at the light, you can reset it if it's not a hard code.
Under the glove box there will be a grey plastic connector that's not connected to anything. Take a paper clip and unbend it. Turn the car on. Touch the paper clip to both of the metal pieces inside of the connector to complete the circut afer the first sequence flashes. Example, if its code 85, after it flashes 8 and 5. Hold the paper clip there until you hear beeping, you're done and the computer will be reset.
You might be lucky and it's a random event. Or you could have my situation and my light still comes on randomly every now and then.
well i finally had the time to sit down and count the number of flashes... after i start the car and all the other lights go away the airbag light flashes in a 5,3 combo two or 3 times and then goes solid. any suggestions ??
At least it is an intermittent code that can be reset. Then it if comes back on do some looking. It seems this can also be set off by a loose battery cable.
