The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems.

The INFL. REST. Light means Inflatable Restraint light. The light should blink five to seven times when you first start the car and then should shut off. If the light does not shut off, get your ride checked for error code.

Dummy light is on and says "INFL REST". What does that mean?

INFL REST means "Inflatable Restrant" problem in your air bag it is either saying your air bag is on and working or that iit is not working.

Generally, the air bag computer has stored a trouble code. You will need the factory service manual to retrieve the code and troubleshoot it.

Hope this helps.

When I started the car this afternoon a red light with the letters "INFL RSTR" flashed three times

This is just a guess, but I would think INFL RSTR would stand for "inflatable restraint", or your airbag system. Take the car to an auto parts store, Advance, Auto Zone, etc, and ask them to pull the system fault code from the OBDII system with a scanner tool. Sounds like your airbags might be malfunctioning. Unless you live in Florida, where INFL RSTR stands for "in Florida restaurants", which is a guide to fine dining in Florida. But I doubt your car is into that sort of thing.

What does the INFL REST light mean? it flashes then stays on for a while

The INFL REST light means the "Inflatable Restraint" .Any time the light illuminates, a code is stored within the Central Control Module (CCM). That's your Airbag light. It stands for Inflationary Restraint. It should blink 5 times then go off. If it stays on there is a problem.Get the car scanned for codes before replacing any part.At www.autozone.com its absolutely free to get car scanned to get codes. Keep updated for more queries.Thanks.

What does infl rest mean when it flash on the dash board

infl rest (Inflatable Restraint) is referring to the Air Bag. A code has been set for the air bag system. This is not a DIY repair. You need to have this looked into by a professional.

Infl rest light flashing no fuel

Your Infl. Rest. Light is supposed to flash 7-9 times when you turn the ignition on or when you start the engine, It should then go off. If it is constantly flashing or comes on and stays on, You have a problem with your airbags and they will not function in a crash. It is unrelated to your fuel issue.
