blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 16y 1m 6d Posted 07/10/08 03:49 AM Share Posted 07/10/08 03:49 AM Hi guys,When I start my BA XR6T, my airbag warning light is on for a few seconds then off (together with all other lights which is normal). However, when I start driving, it's blinking for a while then stay on. Has anyone here has the same problem and what causes it and how to fix it? Does it mean my airbags not working anymore or just the faulty on the warning light?The strange thing is that usually after put my car for the hand car wash and cleaning, I am not sure how they clean my interior but the light works normally after that for about a week then start on again.Any helps will be good.

Tell me what code it blinks out, and I will tell you what it means.There are two digits from memory, and I think it repeats the code three times.

blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 16y 1m 6d Posted 07/10/08 12:33 PM Author Share Posted 07/10/08 12:33 PM Thanks for your help. I will try to look at the plugs tomorrow. But how can I find out the faulty code? Does it mean count how many times it blink before it stay on or how long does it take before stay on?

blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 16y 1m 6d Posted 08/10/08 03:27 AM Author Share Posted 08/10/08 03:27 AM I've just checked for the faulty code. My warning light blinks twice then stop for 1s, then 3 times and stop, then repeat twice,3 times for 5 times (I.e: 5 x 2+3 total of 25 times) before it stays on. So what is the code for it and how to fix it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
