1995 Ford F150 Styleside Regular Cab Logo
Posted on Jan 21, 2009

Code 51 I have a 95 ford f150 with 5.0 that has a flashing air bag light that gave me a code of 51, which by code book for ford means 'ECT sensor". I also, Have had times of the A/C going out to floor panel when i press down on gas pedal to pass someone. I checked vacuum and found no problems....It"s a guess at this point for me...Thanx for any help.

My air bag light is flashing how to fix it?

first things first is you need to know what code(s) have set

The system readiness indicator light (AIR BAG warning light) is used in diagnosing malfunctions or faults in the air bag system. A fault code will be displayed when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the diagnostic monitor detects a system fault. Certain faults may not be displayed until approximately 30 seconds after ignition switch has been turned to RUN position. This is the amount of time required for diagnostic monitor to test and verify all system faults.
AIR BAG warning light flashes a series of 2-digit fault codes. For example, a fault Code 32 will be displayed in the following manner: flash flash flash, one-second pause, flash flash, 3-second pause, then the cycle would repeat.

Once you have the code(s) post them here

I have a 2007 Ford Escape that the airbag light is flashing 1 then 8. It does this a few times, and then stays on. What does this code mean?

I think you might have a bad air bag module or sensor that is usually a problem when the air bag light try checking that and see if it helps

How do I fix a code 44 problem? Air bag light

The air bag code 44 indicates that the air bag computer is not receiving a signal from the right front air bag sensor. This could be caused from defective wiring (loose wire or grounded through chafing) or the sensor being defective.

My air bag light on my 2000 Ford Econoline van flashes a 19 code. Does anyone know what that means?

Seems to be a very common problem with Ford. The wiring harness beneath the drivers seat contains the sensors for the airbag system. Go under the drivers seat and secure all the wires and clips. This makes most error lights for the airbags go away. Hope this helps and good luck!

Air bag sensor keeps flashing

If a concern is detected, the air bag control module will communicate by flashing the warning indicator. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is logged by the air bag control module in a nonvolatile memory. For additional information, refer to Diagnosis and Testing in this section.

Air bag light

You can't reset it. It's flashing a code. If you tell me the code, I can tell you the proceedure to isolate the fault.

when you start up, there is an 8 second system test and the light is on during this period. Then it flashes out a 2-digit code. The first group of flashes is the first digit and then there is a pause before the second group of flashes which represent the second digit.

flash-flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-flash-flash-flash-flash = code 36

What code is your system flashing?
