yea, if you don't have the CEL checker thing (not sure what it's called), you can go to autozone and they will read it for free.

It's called an SRS connector. To check the code pull the two wire connector from the area above the ECU (it should be in a rubber casing) If you dont have a connector to join the two open sides of the connector just bend a paperclip and stick it in both sides (connecting the two ends of the coneector together) That is a Mcgyver way of doing it and it works; you just have to have a good connection.

Actually it's the SCS connector...SRS is the airbag system (Supplimental Restraint System)...

And it's MacGyver (Sorry, I'm a die hard fan of that show!).

Not trying to be a jackass, just all fun and games

But to the OP, check the code like everyone else said and get back to us.

Yah man, that's what I thought! I was like holy crap! I'm so happy the seasons are coming out on DVD one by one though...never gets old watching them!

For all who want to know what we're talking about...
http://www.priceless.com/film/worldpremiere.html

Give the screen about 10 seconds to go through it's stupid "world premier" thing, then the actual MacGyver stuff comes up. You can watch the original commercial, look at behind the scenes/making/interviews...it's awesome!

And sorry to the OP! I really didn't mean to highjack this! But hey at least it's a free bump, and when you do get us the code, more poeple can help!
