hi all. I would like some help about flashing supplemental airbag light on the dashboard panel.
Does anyone know how to reset this? Thanks.

Just guessing here

Take off the neg lead to your battery

wait about 60 seconds reconnect it.

 

Disconnecting the battery will only make the light temporarily go away if there is a real issue, the problem that caused it will still be there. '05...isn't it still under warranty???

 

Just bring it to the dealer you should be able to drive right in and they will look at. Think about it like this airbags save lifes if its flashing they are not going to work. And they are known for going off when the light flashes as well. If I had to say what it is i would go with a seat belt tensioner or a clock spring.

 

You (or someone) must have accidently disconnected the airbag harness under the drivers or passenger seat. Even after connceting it the harness againthe blinking lightwill not reset. You will have to take it to the dealer and shell out about $100 to have the system reset. Unless you know of another way, please let me know.

 

This worked on my '05... I copied this from another forum.

The lightwill show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it:

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

 

...Wow, just noticed how old this topic was. I am sure mauk517 has figured it out by now.

Anyway, here is the solution for others. Looks like there have been alot wondering about this common issue. Mine happened when I unplugged the passenger airbag light taking apart the center dash and console.
