dr76 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Have a '93 Marquis and recently the Airbag check light has been flashing. The sequence is: 5 flashes (pause) 1 flash (long pause), then continuously repeats. Anyone have info on what might be causing this? Thanks! :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman100 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Your airbag computer is reading error code 51 - I've not been able to find a list of airbag error codes offhand, but maybe someone else will be able to tell you what it is. Your airbag will still work - if the light was solid, it would be disabled. It just might not work properly in all circumstances, so you need to see what that code means.

Your airbag will still work - if the light was solid, it would be disabled. It just might not work properly in all circumstances, so you need to see what that code means. Found a "generic" Ford airbag code list... assuming they are the same for all models??? Air Bag Fault Code Table AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR FAULT CODE PRIORITY TABLE Priority Code Component/Fault Description Highest -- No Air Bag Lamp - Inoperative Lamp Circuit or No Ignition Voltage to Diagnostic Monitor | -- Continuous Air Bag Lamp - Diagnostic Monitor Disconnected or Inoperative | 12 Low Battery Voltage | 13 Air Bag Circuit or Crash Sensor Circuit - Shorted to Ground | 21 Safing Sensor - Not Mounted on Vehicle Properly | 22 Safing Sensor Output Circuit - Shorted to Battery Voltage | 23 Safing Sensor Input Feed/Return Circuit Open | 24 Open in Circuit 944B or Low Resistance in Crash Sensor(s) | 32 Driver Side Air Bag/Safing Sensor Circuit - High Resistance or Open | 33 Pin 7 Not Grounded at Diagnostic Monitor | 34 Driver Side Air Bag/Safing Sensor Circuit - Low Resistance or Shorted | 35 Low Resistance Across Pins 8 and 9 at Diagnostic Monitor | 41 Crash Sensor Circuit - High Resistance or Open | 44 RH Crash Sensor - Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly | 45 Center Radiator Crash Sensor - Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly | 46 LH Crash Sensor - Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly | 51 Diagnostic Monitor Internal Thermal Fuse - Blown and Short to Ground No Longer Exists | 52 Backup Power Supply - Voltage Boost Fault | 53 Internal Diagnostic Monitor Fault Lowest -- Rapid Continuous Flashing of Air Bag Lamp - All Crash Sensors Disconnected So, looks like a short-to-ground and/or blown fuse... the car actually has to go in for a recall for a potential "fire hazard" due to something with the cruise control (don't have the letter in sight), so I'll see what the dealer says about the airbag code "51" when I bring it in for the recall. Thanks for the input : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
