I can't for the life of me get the SRS light to stop blinking. I soldered 4.7 1/2 watt resistors that I got from radioshack. I thought maybe it was my soldering.

2nd attempt: I spliced both connectors to two new resistors and performed the SRS reset trick, and nothing...

I'm wondering if I need my passenger weight sensor plugged in too?

Notes: I'm able to get it into diagnostics mode, but it stays there w/ 2 long blinks, followed by a series of fast blinks. It just stays in diagnostics mode and nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.


EDIT: Diagnostics mode shows 5 blinks which is "Occupant Classification System control unit". I assume this is passenger weight sensor. I thought we didn't need to plug this in? Oh well, I'm going to try it out and see what happens

EDIT2: This is what helped me determine what was wrong.

Ok, so now you're in "Diagnosis Mode" where you get the initial 7 second SRS light followed by either a 3 second blink or 2x 1.5 second blink, then blink codes. All the codes will repeat sequentially so you should note them down (eg: 3 second light, 2 blinks, 3 second light, 5 blinks, 1.5 second light, 1.5 second light, 6 blinks, etc etc) . If you lose count, just turn the car off and then back to ON as it will stay in "Diagnosis Mode"

Here's the table for the blink codes that come after a 3 second blink:

0 blinks: Self-diagnosis result is not deleted

1. Front LH seat belt pre-tensioner
2. Driver air bag module
3. Front RH seat belt pre-tensioner
4. N/A
5. Occupant Classification System control unit
6. Crash zone sensor
7. Air bag diagnosis sensor unit
8. Front passenger air bag module
9. N/A
10. N/A
11. Front passenger air bag OFF indicator

If you've removed your OE seats with side airbags and need to check if the SRS error code is related to either passenger or driver side module, the following series of blink codes associated with the 2x 1.5 second SRS light are the ones to look for ( #1 and #2):

Here's the table for the blink codes that come after 2x 1.5 second blink:

1. Front RH side air bag module
2. Front LH side air bag module
3. RH satellite sensor
4. LH satellite sensor
5. RH side curtain air bag module
6. LH side curtain air bag module

If you're troubleshooting an error code and think it has gone away, you can turn the ignition off and back to "ON" to reread the diagnosis codes. If you happen to clear all the codes and turn the ignition Off, the car will AUTOMATICALLY go back to "User Mode" since there are no more user codes.
