Alex1647545498 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 "When your vehicle’s air bag computer senses a system fault it will light the warning indicator. To communicate the problem to us humans it will flash the warning light in a series of flashes and pauses. The series you’ve described are for a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 32. DTC 32 means that the computer senses too much resistance in the wiring from the computer to the air bag and back again. With that said it doesn’t get easier. The most common cause we’ve seen for this problem has been the clock spring assembly in the steering wheel and the horn doesn’t always stop working. If it should then it is the likely culprit The problem has to be diagnosed to be sure that the right part gets replaced." http://www.alldata.com/techtips/2001/20010108c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Also... The pretensioners are the seal belt buckles on the front seats. There is a yellow connector under the trim on the outer edge of the seats. With the ignition off, disconnect the connectors, wait a couple of minutes and then reconnect them. Turn the ignition on and the light should be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
