Airbag Light (Clearing Trouble)

[yellowstang1994]

Hi guys. I was installing a shift light and my 48pin computer wasn't screwed in all the way so one complete circuit that had the airbag module was disconnected and after I fixed it, it threw the airbag trouble light. I read every post on the light and how to clear it, and read the entire guide at veryuseful.com. My airbag light flashes 8 times then stops, blinks once, stops for a little bit more, then goes to another round of 8 before it stays solid. No where on the guide did I see how to find out what DTC code that is, do I need to have it checked with an airbag diognostic tool? Most people seem to only have 2 or 3 blinks. I decided to attempt to clear the code. I found the plug underneath the glovebox, pulled it out. I started up the car and I let the airbag light cycle through the first 8 rounds. I got my paper clip and touched both connectors on the plug and I didn't hear any beep and nothing happened. I tried this multiple times and still got nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Code 81 is Intermittent or Repaired RH Radiator Primary Crash Sensor Feed/Return Circuit Open.

Thanks! But how did you figure out it was code 81? I'm still not understanding that part.

I'm at the same exact point. I found the connector but its not beeping or resetting. I have dealt with it for over 3 years now, so not a huge deal to me.

You said it flashed 8 times and paused than flashed once then paused that =code 81. The post I liked above it's in there. Any time an air bag light is triggered it flashes the code. The most common being code 32 exp. Flashes three times-one second pause-flashes two times-pause for four seconds it will continue to repeat this code until fixed and reset the computer.
