Thank you 03 Maz B23 and projectSHO89 for helping me through this very frustrating repair.

I have located the module behind the passenger side kick panel, and disconnected the connector. I checked the resistance between the P/LB and the BK/W on the plug that connects to the module. Hopefully this is indeed the procedure outlined in post 11. The resistance there is reading 1 Ohm on my meter, well below tolerances. Here is a pic of the plug that I got the readings on. I have to say, that is an awkward place for a 6'6 260 pound guy with bad knees to be working!


If what I did is incorrect please let me know. Oh, a side note, every time I did anything to the air bag system, the battery was disconnected.

Regarding clearing the module, I have not looked into the procedures yet, but I did try the 256 on off thing, which did not get rid of the light. I turned the key on and shut it off after about 5 seconds, 256 times. I am close to insanity due to the dinging!

This is still not fixed, I took it to the garage and they put it on the scanner to clear the code. It picked the code back up again.

I am going to recheck the resistance in the circuit.
There are 2 connectors to the ABDM. Which one has connector C1-18 Circuit 570 (BK/W)?
There is a BK/W on each connector.

I have ordered a shop manual, in the meantime is there anyone who can hook me up with a wiring diagram? The only manual I have is a Haynes and it is horrible.

If your are refering to bulb in the shutoff switch for passenger airbag get one of these from Radio Shack and solder it in place.

Can't guarantee they would have it but check reference department of your local library to see if they have any wiring diagrams.
