Just been browsing the Service Manual and come accross this, not sure if this has been posted before
System fault diagnosis with Blink code (only if FIAT/LANCIA TESTER is not available)
As an alternative to the FIAT/LANCIA, TESTER it is possible to carry out a fault diagnosis on the system
by interpreting the blink codes emitted by the "AIR BAG" failure warning light in the instrument panel.
To activate the fault diagnosis it is necessary, With the key inserted, to connect terminal n°3 of the elec-
tronic control unit to earth for between I and 5 seconds. (The warning light signalling AIR BAG system
faults is connected to the control unit for terminal n°3).
The table overleaf contains the faults which can be detected and any remedies to adopt, depending on
the number of flashes emitted by the warning light.
When the fault has been repaired the test must be repeated to make sure that there are no other faults.
Bear in mind that the control unit communicates faults, one at a time, in descending order, until the sys-
tem repairs are complete. When the repairs have been carried out the memory must be canceled, con-
necting terminal n°3 of the control unit for between 5 and 10 seconds. All the errors memorized should
be cancelled, one by one, repeating the procedure each time, until the cancelling of the memory is com-
plete.

The codes are on there as well, I'll post them up later.
Handy if you want to reset the light as most people trigger the light when removing the dash or instrument cluster, as I have in the past and then removed the bulb for MOT
