Rapid Continuous Flashing of Air Bag Indicator
Electrical Schematic:
Normal Operation
Each primary crash sensor has two wires. One wire is used for air bag deployment and monitoring the sensor's connection to the diagnostic monitor. The other wire is used for monitoring the mounting (ground) of the sensor to sheet metal (Refer to DTC 44, 45 and 46 diagnosis). If the Diagnostic Trouble Code 41 diagnosis reveals that ALL THREE primary sensors are not connected and if the Diagnostic Trouble Codes 44, 45 and 46 diagnosis reveals that ALL THREE primary sensors are not properly grounded, then the diagnostic monitor will flash the air bag indicator continuously at a fast rate.
Possible Causes
Rapid continuous flashing of the air bag indicator can be caused by:
1. All primary crash sensors disconnected from wiring harness or main wiring harness not connected with engine compartment wiring harness.
