Toyota Repair: air bag light on, jumper wire, toyota camry


Question
hi, i have a 93, 4 cylinder, toyota camry and my air bag light is on. how do I reset it? thanks

Answer
Resetting it won't fix the problem the light will just come back on, to find out what causes the light to turn on do the following and then let me know:  
Under the hood locate the diagnostic connector, open the cover and put a jumper wire between the terminals tc and e1, turn the ignition on, watch the air bag light, it will blink a number of times, this will give you the trouble code, count the number of blinks, they will be a combination of blinks to form a number, for example a blinking of 3+6 would be a code thirty six, there will be a longer pause between each code it will either keep repeating the same code or if there is more than one add any other codes that may be stored.
