Code 76

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Subaru Outback and 2001 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . After repairs are complete, check AIR BAG warning light to verify system is functioning correctly. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK .
  1. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Remove instrument panel lower cover and glove box. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module connectors AB9 and AB10. See Figure. See Figure. Connect connector 1K in test harness "K" (part number not available) to connector AB9. See Figure. Connect two air bag resistors (98299PA040) to connectors 3K and 4K in test harness "K". Connect negative battery cable and turn ignition on. If AIR BAG warning light works properly, replace passenger-side air bag module and go to step  3. See PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If AIR BAG warning light does not operate properly, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable and wait 20 seconds. Remove two air bag resistors from connectors 3K and 4K in test harness "K". Remove driver-side instrument panel and disconnect driver-side air bag module connectors AB3 from AB8. Disconnect air bag control module connector AB6 from control module and connect to test harness "I2" (98299FC041), connector 1I. See Figure. Measure voltage between ground and test harness "I2" connector 6I terminal No. 2. Measure voltage between ground and test harness "I2" connector 6I terminal No. 4. If voltage is less than one volt in both circuits, replace air bag control module and go to next step. See CONTROL MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If voltage is one volt or more in either or both circuits, replace air bag main wire harness. Go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off and disconnect negative battery terminal. Reconnect system components and activate air bag system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Clear air bag system codes.
