Re: Air Bag Diagnostics

Yes, sorry I just had a moment last night to browse the forum and typed rather quickly - yes, correct what I meant was under the dash on the driver side - that's the OBD2 connector - I have read codes out of that (mine's a 2000). About the adapter - to clarify - OBD2 serial data out of the ECM comes out of pin 7 on the connector. However, according to the factory manual the airbag computer (which is a separate unit and lives near the gear shift lever) sends its own data on pin 9 so I presume that making a adaptor which takes the signal out from pin 9 and sends it to pin 7 on a code reader should allow the code reader to read the airbag codes. The code readers/scan tools will be expecting the data to be present on pin 7.
