AIR BAG SYSTEM FLASH CODE DIAGNOSIS

On Ford, some air bag, if a fault exists that could result in unwarranted air
bag deployment ,the ORC disarm the system. On Toyota vehicle air bag DTCs mat
also be obtained by connecting a special jumper wire, supplied by the vehicle
manufacturer between terminal TC and E1 in the DLC2.On Honda wiring harness
A is connected to a terminal on the control module, wiring harness B is connected
in services between the large control module warning connector and the
matching terminal on the control module (Barry Hollembeak).

SAFETY WARNING AND TIPS OF AIR BAG SYSTEM

Ford vehicle, the air bag warning light prioritizes the DTCs and flashes the
highest priority DTC if there is more than one fault in the system. On Toyota
voltmeter or ohmmeter tests recommend in the vehicle manufacturer service
information are usually necessary to locate the exact cause of the problem. O
Honda voltmeter test provided in the vehicle manufacturer service information
may be performed to diagnose the system (Robert Bosch GmbH).

On Ford, the ORC opens a thermal fuse inside to disarm system. On Toyota,
a DTC indicates a fault in a certain area such as a specific air bag sensor. On
Honda, AC-powered voltmeter or ohmmeter except those meters specified by the
vehicle manufacture (Thomas W. Birch).

On Ford vehicle, the ORC provides an audible tone if the air bag warning
light is not operating properly. On Toyota vehicle, if the air bag warning light
flashes a DTC that is not on the fault code list for that model year, the control
module is defective (James D. Halderman).

On Ford vehicle the air bag warning light begin flashing a DTC when a
defect occurs in the air bag system, On Toyota vehicle, air bag flash code may be
obtained by cycling the ignition switch on and off five times. On Honda testing the
voltage at specific terminals on ASDM (Barry Hollembeak).
