21-1 Verify Condition

^ Key ON.

^ Count the fault code (if any).

^ Is code 21 flashing?

YES -- Go to 21-2. 21-2 Check Safing Sensor Ground

NO -- Read the normal operation description for this fault code. Examine the fault code schematic and look for areas where intermittent problems would occur (connectors, splices, crimps, etc.). Do not proceed with pinpoint tests until the code is flashing. Failure to do so will result in needless replacement of the air bag diagnostic monitor and repeat repairs.
