Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting AIR BAG CODES

Is there a list somewhere of all of the airbag warning codes for the Contour??

Someone posted that they have a code 12 on the go.

How the heck do you even know it's a code 12, as opposed to say, um, a code RED??

I'm getting a 5-4 or 5-3 flash on occasion, and I am curious as to what it means.

If anyone out there can help and post a list of ALL codes, that would be great.

The following is from the Ford TSP (Technical Service Publication):

12=Low Battery Voltage

14=Primary Crash Sensor Circuit Shorted to Ground
21=Safing Sensor Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly
