How to clear Mitsubishi Galant Viii 87 airbag code ?

  1. Follow the diagnostic procedures to service the fault condition flashing on the air bag indicator prior to code clearing.
  2. Cycle the ignition switch to OFF and then to RUN.
  3. Observe air bag indicator prove-out (six ? two seconds) followed by diagnostic trouble code (52-85) flashing completely one time.
  4. Locate the Diagnostic "Trouble Code Clear" Connector (grey connector). located underneath the glove compartment, left side (06010) containing Circuits 631 (T/R) and 57 (BK).
  5. Use a jumper wire to short Circuit 631 (T/R) to Circuit 57 (BK) or to another good ground. This short must be made after the diagnostic trouble code flashes completely one time, but before the warning light stays on continuously.
  6. Hold short until air bag diagnostic monitor tone sounds (approximately five seconds).
  7. Release short on Circuit 631 (T/R) to Circuit 57 (BK). This short must be released within 25 seconds after the diagnostic monitor tone sounds.
Diagnostic trouble code is now cleared from memory.
