Airbag light

[punisher1982]

i searched the forum but can't find an answer. My airbag light flashes when I start my car. It flashes twice, then it turns off. It does this 10 times and then stays lit. I am supposed to take my car in to Ford Friday but hopefully I can get an idea of whats wrong before then. Could my SCT X3 possibly have cause this error? I have ran it with the tune for a couple months with no problems till now.

Thanks,
Jon

It means your airbag is low on air. Pull it out and blow it back up!!

When the RCM detects a system fault, it will cause the air bag indicator to flash a coded sequence; a lamp fault code (LFC). The code is 2 digits. The first digit is flashed with a 0.5-second interval between pulses. There is a 2-second pause before the second digit is flashed which also has a 0.5-second interval between pulses. There is a 5-second pause between each display of an LFC.
Each LFC is flashed 5 times after which the air bag indictor will remain lit for the remainder of the key-on cycle. If there are multiple LFCs, each LFC will flash in order of priority.

there isn't a fault code for 2 flashes which sounds like a code 11, there is a code 12 which would be 1 flash followed by 2 flashes which would indicate a bad RCM.

It should all be covered under warranty right? My car's an 09 with a few years left covered by the warranty.

definitely run it in to the dealer. Some stuff aint worth messing with, airbag being numero uno.

Mine does the same thing but only after it rains or I wash my car. I have noticed a slight leak on the pass side and I believe its the issue around the cowl but I havent taken the time to mess with it any. Im not to worried about air bags any ways. I wouldnt have them in there if it were up to me.

code 22 is Side Air Bag Status (Driver Seat Side Air Bag Circuit Failure)

Right tsb 09-8-7 DTC 2295 with error 22/23 driver/passenger seat side air bag circuit failure.

the fix is to replace and move the plug with a new one, with a slightly longer plug pn 4L8Z-14S411-AA pigtail connector. should be covered under warranty.
