heah all. have a 2002 explorer that has developed a blinking air bag light,when you first start it up.it blinks three times,then pauses about five seconds,then blinks four times,and then lights continuously.figure the specific numbers of flashes must meen something,was wondering if anyone had any ideas?or is it back to the dealer?

 

Hello,

Here's the codes, mine was blinking 46, It was an easy fix, found the connector on the drivers side seat belt had come disconnected plugged it back in problem fixed.

Sounds to me like code 35 could be the same thing low resistance or open circuit, now all you have to do is find the cannon plug for the monitor. No idea here. If you find that, check the connector to make sure its connected properly.

I'd do somemore research before I'd run it into a service department.

OOP'S

Disreguard the info on the code 35 misread your post. But the list of codes may be of some help.

 

thanks,alot. will sure put these to good use.

 

had the same problem on my 2000 explorer. code 36 connector under driver seat came undone from clip

 

i got a 44 on a 95 e-150. right air bag sensor? is it the one on the right frame rale because i looked at it and it looks connected. thanks for the help

 

i'm confused. how do you all correlate a number like 34 to the air bag light? when i had a problem (seems to have gone away by itself for now) the light just blinked and blinked and blinked and finally stayed on. must have gone thru 5 cycles before it stayed on.

 

and also, will those diagnostic codes work for my truck? i have a 97 X, 5.0 AWD.

 

I'm getting a code 44. Just recently replaced the right hand crash sensor. What does that mean? If its connected and looks good, is it not straight or level or something? 44 says "not mounted properly" not quite sure what that means... it looks the same as the left hand sensor. Any ideas?
