Airbag light.. HELP reset

[Dwightx3]

My airbag light seems to be blinking. I must have mess with one of the harness while
putting an aftermarket radio. Does anyone know how to reset it? Much appreciated if you
can help.

I might be wrong, but I would think that would require an OBDII. An airbag light should put out a code.

No you didn't mess up a harness during your install (i hope...for your sake). Whats u did is turn the ignition on while u had the Passenger seat air bag indicator plug disconnected. You'll need a code reader to erase it. If not, head to your local dealership. More then likely you will pay at least a minimum of 30min diagnosis up to 1hr just to clear the light. Very common on ppl who install their own stereos. If you have access to a code reader, you will not see the code as it has been stored in the PAST memory of the air bag diagnostic ecu. Id suggest the dealer.

No and no.

When you disconnect the airbag light near the HVAC vents to install the radio you need to reset it. There is a link in the "Read First" thread stickied above but its dead and I cant remember the exact procedure to reset it. Its a series of ignition turns, it will literally take 30 seconds to do. Let me research Ill get back in here in a minute.

push the ignition from OFF to ON
the air bag warning light will appear for about 7 seconds and turns off.
then push igniition switch OFF immediately.
after ignition switch is turned OFF, wait for about 6 seconds.

after you REPEAT THE PROCEDURE 3 TIMES, push the ignition switch ON, this time the ABS warning light has been reset.
step on the brake and push the button to start the car. turn the ignition off and start the car. Hope this will help.


After my heated leather seats were installed, the shop had set off my airbag light, so I did this procedure to my car and it works.
