CHECK FUSE No. 5 (IN MAIN FUSE BOX).
Remove the fuse No. 5 and perform visual 
inspection.

Is the fuse No. 5 (in main fuse 
box) blown out?

Replace the fuse 
No. 5. If the fuse 
No. 5 is blown 
again, go to step 
3. 

Go to step 3.

1) Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 
battery ground cable, and wait more than 20 
seconds.
2) Disconnect the connector (AB1) from 
(B31).
3) Connect the battery ground cable and turn 
the ignition switch to ON.

Does airbag warning light turn 
on?

Go to step 4.

Replace the airbag 
warning light bulb 
or combination 
meter printed cir-
cuit. <Ref. to IDI-
15, Combination
