When the light comes on is it flashing if so it is flashing a Lamp Fault Code

Post the code


Lamp Fault Codes

When the restraints control module (RCM) detects a system fault, it will cause the air bag indicator to flash a coded sequence: a lamp fault code (LFC). The code is two digits. The first digit is flashed with a 0.5 second interval between pulses. There is a 2 second pause before the second digit is flashed, which also has a 0.5 second interval between pulses. There is a 5 second pause between each display of an LFC.

Each LFC is flashed five times after which the air bag indictor will remain lit for the remainder of the key-on cycle. If there are multiple LFCs, each LFC will flash in order of priority.

Yeah it does flash a couple of times. So does that mean that the air bag is defective

Read what I posted
"Post the code"

I need to know the amount of flashes so I can look it up and tell you what the code means
