Common fault on FORD
Usually due to a poor connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat.


Just push it together properly and it should clear the AirBag fault

The sensor that is located near the front bumber is bad. It's not hard to change. I had an accident a few months ago and rebuilt the front end of the truck myself. I had to replace the sensor.

99 ford ranger 3.0 airbag flashes 3.4 what does this mean and how do i fix it thanks in advance

Sorry Josh but this is one you need to take to a repair shop . The air bag system requires special tools for diagnosing an it is possible to deploy an air bag without wanting to . People have been killed not knowing what they were doing . The light flashing means there is a problem with the system an there are DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes stored in the air bag control module !

Air bag light flashing on 1999 ford ranger

well, if your air bag light is flashing then your system is already disabled. You have no worries about it deploying on you or anything, it just means that there is a problem that needs to be resolved before the system will activate again and work. Just like a check engine light, the air bag computer will have a stored code that can be read with a code reader, not like the ones you can use at a parts store though. You need to have your codes read and that will tell you where the problem is.

Airbag

It is flashing a code for you to use in determining the reason the flashing purpose. in other words it has determined that there is a problem with the air bag system. it will flash the code for 5 times and the the light will stay on. it will be a 2 digit code. count the flashes to determine the code. Your Ford dealer can tell you what the codes mean and where to look for the problem. if this is helpfull please rate

Air bag sensor

A possible solution. i have a 2002 ranger in which the air bag light would present itself. i discoved that the passenger air bag indicater bulb was out if i had the airbag on or off. its located next to the key switch. i pulled it appart and notice the bulb was bad. replacing it fixed the problem. there is a catch. this bulb is solderd to the circuit board and you have to get it from radioshack. is a simple task if have a solder kit. hope that helps.

Air bag

When you first start the truck the air bag system does a diagnostic. The light comes on because there is a fault in the system. Needs to be scanned, I suspect they will find a problem with the front impact sensor. Either it was damaged, or the wiring to it was damaged when you went into the ditch.
