Things To Remember
- The diagnostic procedure is not possible if the plug connection X74 is interrupted.

- When elements of the system, such as steering wheel or instrument cluster are removed when the airbag system is in standby mode (as of terminal R), this is also detected by the diagnostic system as a defect and stored in the trouble code memory. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to clear the airbag trouble code memory after installation of these components.

CAUTION: Performing the diagnostic procedure without sufficient ground connection (by way of screw connection) at the casing of the control module can cause damage to the control module.
