I just bought a 2003 Ford Taurus SES. Well the second day I had it, my check engine light came on. I took it to Advanced Auto Parts, and they said it was reading a 0420 code. Well my brake light keeps coming on and off too, and my power steering is making noise when I turn the wheel sharp. Would that be related to the code 0420 which the mechanic said is the catalytic converter that is next to the engine. Well they told me that they couldn't even work on that part because the whole engine would have to come out to get to it.. Other than the grinding noise when I come to a stop and have to hold the brakes hard, and the noise I get when I steer my wheel, the vehicle runs fine.

Hi, ON your 2002 ford taurus, The Flashing code 33 ( B 2292 )
This code refer to : Driver side seat belt pretentioner ( seat belt bucklet) problem.

But if you had an accident on you taurus. You need to replace the Seat belt Pretentioner ( seat belt bucklet)
OK. I hope this information work for you.
Than's.
SOURCE: Air Bag Code
Code 52 relates to low voltage detected in a capacitor inside the airbag module. 45 seconds after key on, this capacitor should have a voltage of around 23 volts.
This capacitor stores energy to deploy the airbag in the case of a collision.
Because your airbag light is on, your system is deactivated (cannot deploy)
In your case, the airbag computer detects less than 23 volts at that capacitor 45 seconds after key on, and disables the system.
There is a diagnostic procedure involved in fixing this problem, but usually means a bad airbag module (computer)
This should only be checked by a qualified technician, as airbag service can be dangerous and there are strict procedures to follow so the bags don't inflate suddenly and cause injury.
