Im almost finished fixing my car... just this pesky air bag light.... it flashes 5 times then 2 times.... i dont know whats wrong...
Air Bag Light!!!! :mad:
- Thread starter Adam95GT
- Start date
same thing happened to me when i put the turbo kit on. I think it was because the battery was disconnected for so long. I just had to short out the plug behind the glove box a few times to clear all the codes. do a search for my thread from few months back and it has a link to answer all of your questions.
DTC 52: INTERMITTENT OR REPAIRED LOST BATTERY FEED
Prolog: If you get one of these stupid Code52's "most of the time" this happens when the battery is disconnected. Only mid-90's stangs throw codes when that is done.
If you got the code after you disconnected the battery, then just go straight to the Diagnostic Code Clearing Section.
End of Prolog:
Normal Operation
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code «12» . Return to DTC 52 for Pinpoint Tests.
Possible Causes

Diagnostic Trouble Code Clearing
Prolog: For the location and shape of the Air Bag Code Clear Connector, see:
Connector to Clear the Air Bag Codes
Location of the Air Bag Connector Close View
Thanks to "NASCAR Mike", and others, for the following additional information:
The 1994 stang is the same as the 1995 stang.
It is right under the glove box. You don't have to remove the glovebox, it can be seen right under the glovebox. It's a small grey connector, but with two pins inside.
End of Prolog.
Procedure to Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes from Diagnostic Monitor Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
Refer to «Deactivation» Procedure.
The air bag diagnostic monitor (14B056) continually checks the air bag system for readiness. When a fault condition is detected, the DTC associated with that fault is stored in the air bag diagnostic monitor's Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). After writing the DTC to NVRAM, the air bag diagnostic monitor signals the fault by flashing the appropriate diagnostic trouble code on the air bag indicator.
The diagnostic trouble code written to NVRAM is permanently stored in the air bag diagnostic monitor until cleared by the diagnostic trouble code clearing procedure.
Upon each cycle of the ignition switch (11572), the air bag diagnostic monitor checks for diagnostic trouble codes written in NVRAM. If any diagnostic trouble codes exist in NVRAM, the air bag diagnostic monitor will then check to see if these fault conditions are still present.
l If the conditions of the diagnostic trouble code in NVRAM are still present, then the air bag diagnostic monitor will use the air bag indicator to flash out the diagnostic trouble code number that was written in memory.
l If the conditions of the diagnostic trouble code are not still present (indicating an intermittent or serviced fault), the air bag diagnostic monitor will use the air bag indicator to flash out a DTC which is the sum of the diagnostic trouble code in NVRAM plus 40.
Example: Due to corrosion, high resistance develops on the driver side air bag circuit. The air bag diagnostic monitor stores a diagnostic trouble code 32 in NVRAM. Upon each cycle of the ignition switch, the air bag diagnostic monitor checks the resistance of the driver air bag circuit.
l If the resistance is still high, the air bag diagnostic monitor causes the air bag indicator to flash out a DTC 32.
l If the resistance falls within the normal range due to service or an intermittent condition, the air bag diagnostic monitor causes DTC 72 to be flashed on the air bag indicator.
Once a fault has been serviced, the associated diagnostic trouble code may be cleared from NVRAM. Only diagnostic trouble codes that the air bag diagnostic monitor sees as repaired or intermittent may be cleared (diagnostic trouble codes 52 and above). In no circumstances can hard fault conditions (diagnostic trouble codes 45 and below) be cleared.
1. Follow the diagnostic procedures as outlined to service the fault condition flashing on the air bag indicator.
2. Cycle the ignition switch to OFF and then to RUN.
3. Observe air bag indicator prove-out (six ± two seconds) followed by diagnostic trouble code (52-85) flashing completely one time.
4. Locate the Diagnostic "Trouble Code Clear" Connector located underneath the glove compartment (06010) containing Circuits 631 (T/R) and 57 (BK).
5. Use a jumper wire to short Circuit 631 (T/R) to Circuit 57 (BK) or to another good ground. This short must be made after the diagnostic trouble code flashes completely one time, but before the warning light stays on continuously.
6. Hold short until air bag diagnostic monitor tone sounds (approximately five seconds).
7. Release short on Circuit 631 (T/R) to Circuit 57 (BK). This short must be released within 25 seconds after the diagnostic monitor tone sounds.
Diagnostic trouble code is now cleared from NVRAM. Next highest priority diagnostic trouble code stored in NVRAM (if one exists) will begin flashing.
Diagnostic Trouble Code Retrieval
Procedure to Retrieve Stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes from Diagnostic Monitor Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
Some Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for intermittent problems (61-85) may not automatically flash on the air bag indicator and may require retrieval. If an air bag DTC has been reported on a vehicle but is not currently flashing, this may be due to two reasons:
l A charging system concern has been identified by the diagnostic monitor and a DTC 12 indicated. DTC 12 will not be stored in the air bag diagnostic monitor's Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) under these circumstances. Correction of the charging system problem will eliminate the DTC.
l An intermittent fault has occurred and the fault is no longer present. The diagnostic monitor may be programmed to flash "intermittent" DTCs 61-85 that are stored in NVRAM. Use the following procedure to access the stored DTC(s).
(1) Locate the air bag diagnostic service connector containing Circuit 631 (T/R). This is a grey connector under the glove compartment.
(2) With the ignition key OFF, short Circuit 631 to the ground contained in the service connector or another good ground.
(3) Turn the ignition key to RUN and observe the six second air bag indicator prove-out.
(4) Within two seconds after indicator prove-out, remove the short on Circuit 631.
(5) Stored DTCs will be displayed. After service, repeat steps 1-4 and clean the DTCs cleared using the «DTC Clearing Procedure» .

did you figure out how to reset it? there is an illistration in the link that shows where the air bag reset plug is. all you do is follow the instructions and repeat until all codes are cleared.
If you still aren't sure i can give you a detailed description on how to do it.
that would be awesome... im doing it this week this is the only thing left after the short in my harness... it took for ever... my car is almost back on the road... 2 front tires and this...
At least Sumitomos arent that expensive.
I got two new fronts the other day. And I had a flat on the back Friday. So I plugged it and ordered one Nitto. lol. I didnt have enough to order two and I would have spent the money by the time I had enough for the other. lol
Well dude i bought 2 toyo proxes off corral localy... For $90 only to find out one had a bubbled sidewall.... GRRRRRR... so i only really need one tire...
im also considering buying an sn-95... $1900 localy... 94 DFG vert... blown trans... T-5 there is a spare in my garage

Thats a pretty good deal. How many miles?
