WARNING: this manual fix should only be attempted if you are absolutely certain that the airbag warning light was tripped by a code 22 error. A code 22 error occurs when the ignition is powered up without the gauge cluster plugged into the wiring harness (starting the car without the gauge cluster in place). The brain runs a diagnostic check and does not receive feedback from the airbag, causing a fault. If this is not the reason your airbag warning light is on, then it is strongly recommended that you do not perform this fix. Take your car to a dealership or service center to be diagnosed and properly fixed; there could be a real and major problem with your airbag system.
First, you need to know the trouble code. Locate either of the two diagnositic ports in your car. One if attached to the engine block, and the other is underneath the driver dash by the auxiliary fuse box. There should be a black plastic cover labelled 'Diagnostic' or 'DLC2'. The following procedure must be performed perfectly in order to work...
STEP 1: Turn the ignition on for approximately 20 seconds, but do not start the engine.
STEP 2: Stick a wire or paper clip in the Tc & E1 pinholes of the DLC2.
STEP 3: If the light blinks continuosly or code 22 (two fast blinks, a pause, then two more fast blinks), then you can probably manually cancel the warning light. If it is any other code, you need to trouble shoot it and fix the problem.
STEP 4: To clear the code connect two wires to Tc and AB of the DLC2.
STEP 5: Turn the ignition to ACC or ON and wait approximately 6 seconds.
STEP 6: Start with the Tc terminal and apply a wire to body ground alternately to Tc and AB twice each in cycles of 0.5 - 1.0 seconds.
STEP 7: Finally keep Tc to ground. If the clearing is done properly, then the airbag light will blink in 50 msec incriments continously. If it did not, then you didn't ground the Tc and AB properly. Repeat the process. The procedure may take between 3 to 15 attempts to work.
