Airbag Indicator Light

Dec 13, 2004 3 Replies

I have a 1992 Miata which I bought new in November 1992. It now has 7000 (seven thousand) miles on it. Within the last month, the airbag light has started to flash. The blink rate is four flashes on at one second intervals then off for four or five seconds. Then the cycle repeats.



This goes on for about ten minutes and then the light goes off and stays off until the car cools down and I restart it next time.



Any idea what is going on? Thanks.

4 blinks is "faulty S-sensor." A small piece of black tape over the light will allow you to refocus your attention on the joy of driving. Or you could fix it.

Thank you. Uh...where is the S Sensor?

I don't think you should work on anything related to the airbag system without a shop manual. It's a bomb, you know.
