My '92 keeps flashing 3-2 and it's starting to **** me off. Before looking up the code, I replaced the air bag sensors, which of course did nothing. My cruise control does work.

I am going to take the steering wheel out. My last resort is to take the bulb out :D

Did you check the toothed ring? I assume you replaced the proximity sensor.

I would stick a voltmeter to the Yellow/Black wire on the ABS connector while it is connected and have someone slowly turn the RF wheel. You should see a pulsing voltage signal, one pulse per tooth.

Ah SHOZ, I believe he said AIRBAG, not ABS.

I'm away from my referrences but I'll check back later and if you do not have an answer I'll dig into it. rangerj

Air bag fault codes flash in order of priority, so that fault code 3 is more of a priority than fault code 2 (In fact fault code 3 is #1 priority and fault code 2 is the last in order of priority. This should be the same for your model year, but check in a good reference source.

Fault code 3: Loss of air bag deployment circuit power or back-up power supply disconnected.

Visually inspect fusable link in circuit 38 (BK/O) for damage (fuse link attaches to starter relay).

Check fuse #7 (15 amp)

If either of these fuses are blow deactivate the air bag before attempting repair.

Fault code 2. Make sure all of the sensors are properly connected and that the diagnostic monitor is properly connected. Agaiin, deactivate the air bag system before fooling with these connections. Your sensors are new so the ohms test for the sensors should not be necessary but, the sensors should read between 1000 and 1300 ohms when tested. The test can be done at the sensors, between the pins, and at the diagnostic monitor using the corresponding (sensor) wire sets eg right PK/O and P/LG, left W/Y and T/BK, center PK/W and P/LB.

If the above does not correct the problem then get back to me and I'll post the rest of the code 3 diagnostics. rangerj

SHOZ, been there, done that!!!
