Supplemental Restraint System Test: 1993 Probe  
Description 1993 Probes were equipped with a driver side supplemental air bag restraint system. The Air Bag lamp on the instrument cluster should illuminate for 6 seconds after the ignition is turned on. If not, it could be a sign of something wrong. When the air bag system detects a problem, the air bag diagnostic monitor will display a fault code through a serious of flashes through the Air Bag lamp.

Interpreting The Pulses/Flashes The flashes on the Air Bag lamp light translate into two digit codes. The Air Bag lamp will flash the first digit, followed by a one second pause, then it will flash the second digit. After a three second pause, it will repeat the code. For example, four flashes, pause, then one flash would be a code 41. Only one code will be displayed at a time. If two or more codes are present, the code with the highest priority will be displayed first. Once that fault has been corrected, the code with the next highest priority will be displayed.


Fault Code 41
