we need the primary code first, then we can find the secondary code that you gave us.

Using my Actron Auto Scanner Plus, Model CP9580A there is No Code that comes up. The only information is that the Front Airbag Light on the instrument panel flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 6 times then stays continuously lit. Waiting for reply.

The fact that it stay lit means there is indeed a fault/code. Perhaps a different scan tool will be able to read it. I did find a Tech Service Bulletin on your SRS system though, if this hasn't been addressed it may need to be

Here's a video that might help

Why is my Front Airbag Light flash ?
The flashing code is 4 pause 6.

once again, we need the code from the scan tool to start the process

Roy

I have no code. sorry?

go to a parts store and have them pull the code for you.

My airbag light is on and I am looking to see how much it will cost to replace part. I was told I would have to replace OCS module and bladder.
Did Ford company ever have a recall on the airbag light?

Thank you very much.

I do not know what either of those parts are, and it is not likely two parts failed at the same time. Do you have the exact diagnostic fault code number? If you supply that, I can look up its meaning.

This is what was given to me - 85 Accessories - 1092 CPT - They verified concern test RCM. B2909 OCS hard fault code pin point test. Test wiring from OCS to RCM OKI performed system reset could not reset. Need too replace OCS Module and Bladder. This is the information that was given to me at a cost of $2574.18 including labor which I already paid labor just to have them look at it. I hope this help yopu, as this is all I have.

Thank you

B2909 refers to the Passenger belt tension sensor, specifically a wire to it could be open or grounded. In 99 percent of cases, the circuit has a problem that must be diagnosed. The computer has to be working to detect the problem, so there is no need to replace it. In a very rare one percent of the time, a defect inside the computer can cause it to falsely set a fault code. The computer is only suspect when testing shows there is no defect in the circuit.

I still don't know what is meant by "bladder". If that refers to one of the air bags, those are only replaced if one has been set off in a crash.

My airbag light stays on and I would like to know if I can disconnect that light without disconnecting other warning lights. Also is there a way to check the airbag mechanism and repair it? I cannot get an inspection sticker without this being rectified.

No way to disconnect the light. The SRS control module should be scanned for trouble codes. There will be a code stored and with that we will know which diagnostic flowchart to follow.

My airbag light has recently turned on. What does it mean, and what can happen to the car?

indicates a fault in the SRS (supplemental restraint system) . most likely simply due to a faulty sensor. nothing will happen to the vehicle. you need to have a diagnostic scan on done to the vehicle so they can retrieve the trouble codes stored by the SRS

The air bag light is flashing a code 46. Do you know what this translates to? Thank you very much. Maggie

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

This is a fault with the electrical connection to the drivers seat belt pretensioner, any SRS work should be referred to a qualified mechanic or a dealer.

What does a blinking air bag light indicate?

There Is an error in the SRS system, a scan will give you the fault code, any SRS work must be done by a qualified tech as this system is extremely dangerous to work on, while the light is on, the SRS system is inactive.

On my ford escape the air bag light stays on when every I am driving.

Have the computer scanned to identify where the problem is coming from.

The other day my airbag just started blinking and then it stayed on. When you start the car it blinks for a few mins then stays luminated. What can be the problem? Also my AC stopped cooling right at the same time, so can this be something due to the light? I didn't think that the two are related but just wanted to ask.
Mike

I don't believe the two are related. Have you had the computer scanned to identify why the light is on? Chances are there is a bad sensor.

As far as the AC, did you lose the cool air or the blower motor?

Wow, we are losing the issue here.

We need to get back to basics.

As all us guys have said, including me, we need the code. The code you gave us indicates a pretensioner issue. My own experience was chafing harness under the seat caused this code. It was a simple repair in my case.

AS Joe said, you need to have a qualified shop look at this. Messing with this system with no knowledge can cause the bag to deploy. Please do not touch this system unless you have training on it.

No, you cannot take it out of service.

We appreciate all the input on this issue, but let's try to stay on point.
