Yes, but you are also saying projectSHO89's interpretation of the code is incorrect, right?

That's why I brought this up again before I start working on it.

 

It's true that different model years can have different codes. But to the best of my knowledge, those different codes are in addition to the basic set of codes shown here in this list.

For goodness sake. You're actually quoting stuff that's 10-15 years out of date?

Seriously, look up the codes in the CORRECT manual.

 

This is exactly what I was afraid of...

I guess it is time to give the stealership a call and see if I can verify the meaning of the code from them.

Not saying I'm doubting either one of you, but since there are two views of this, I guess I'll have to go for the third opinion...

 

Let's see.... One used the factory 2004 Workshop manual, the other used stuff that was 10-15 years old.

You decide.

I have the exact same manual the dealership was issued for the 04.

 

After all of your lip flapping, I'd sure hate to be you if it turns out you're wrong.

 

My intention was not to doubt either of you. Especially since I did not know where you got the information from. The 2004 Workshop Manual is a good source, for sure.

 

You should be more concerned about being yourself and for providing incorrect and obsolete information...

 

QUESTION:

I have a 2001 EB Expedition, and I'm pretty sure my airbag light blinks 36 (but I'll count again to make certain). I have a friend who has a scantool, and the ODB connector shows DRIVERS SIDE AIG BAG HIGH RESISTANCE & PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HIGH RESISTANCE.

I went to the dealer for that cruise control recall thing the other day, and the dealer guy said its usually the clock spring in the drivers steering wheel.... So because my friend is a mechanic at a dealership (not for ford's however) he borrowed some tools, that simulate a correct airbag installed - so he pulled the steering wheel, same error, removed the clock spring and same error, got under the dash (drivers side) and got the same error. These errors will NOT clear from the computer even with his scantool btw.

So, now the question is - WHAT IN THE F*** CAN THIS BE!?

He said it might be the airbag control module is bad? I DONT KNOW. I just bought this truck about 3 months ago - and that light (and the ck suspension light) is driving me crazy!

I WILL COUNT OR VIDEO THE LIGHT BLINKING LATER AND RE-POST.

 

A code 32 can be caused by a bad clock spring. A code 36 usually means you have a bad connection to the airbag.

 

I also have a 42 code where is the crash sensor and pigtail. And do you know how much and where i can get the part?

 

I also have a 42 code where is the crash sensor and pigtail. And do you know how much and where i can get the part? Thank you for the help

 

Ok, verified my airbag blink code is 3 6

Like I mentioned, my friend has a scantool and this was the error's it shows.



Like I said, the friend of mine is a mechanic at a dealership (again, not ford) here.... so he borrowed (from a ford tech) some special tools and sensor clips... and he checked the entire drivers side steering column, checking the connectors all the way from the airbag itself, clock spring, column to under the dash - no change in error code.. Never got to the passenger side.

I looked under my passenger seat, and I have 2 cables NOT connected at all, one has a YELLOW cap on it, which he explains to me is probably for a side airbag I do not have? and the other is probably for powerseat on passenger side, which again - I do not have. I do NOT see a place where these "should" be connected, so I'm assuming he is right. Now, that being said - I really don't know what it is I am supposed to be looking for...so... I'm a little lost too at this stage.

What are some of the things I should check for - and I will absolutely look!

I want to thank those who take the time to participate in these question threads... It is very helpful to people like me and many many other's who simply read and never post. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!

 

Okay... Coming back to this airbag light issue...

Today when I picked the Expedition from the shop from replacing the pinion and carrier bearings I asked them to hook up their scanner to see what the airbag code really is.

It came back as B2292, which indicates a problem with the passenger side seat belt pretensioner.

Now... The question is: How do I fix it? I'm assuming I need to get a new seat belt buckle system to the passenger side. Or...? If so, does anybody have a part # for that, or what ever I need, as I guess dealer is the only place to go to get what I need...?

 

Often times, those codes are due to a poor/loose connection at the SRS module which is probably located under the front passenger seat.

Disconnect the battery negative cable, then reseat the SRS module connectors.
