System Codes

System Codes

Codes for the air bag system are not permanent and will change the moment the reason for the code is corrected. In certain test procedures within this section, codes are used as a diagnostic tool.

Stored Codes

Stored codes remain in storage until they are erased using the DRBII "Erase Codes" function. More than one code may be stored.

NOTE: Ignition codes are not stored.


Erase Stored Codes


It is impossible to erase a stored code until the reason for the code has been corrected. The "Erase Codes" function of the DRBII is also useful as a diagnostic tool.
