Airbag Diagnostic Trouble Codes

The Airbag Control Module may report any of the following diagnostic trouble codes.

Airbag diagnostic trouble codes consist of active and stored codes. If more than one code exists, diagnostic priority should be give to the active codes.

Active diagnostic trouble codes for the airbag system are not permanent and will change the moment the reasoning for the code is corrected. In certain test procedures, diagnostic trouble codes are used as a diagnostic tool.

For these codes, replace the Airbag Control Module (ACM) even if set intermittently.
