Air Bag light

[Jamz SHO 813]

I was in an accident at the end of September which caused the air bag to blow. The only problem is that the air bag has been replaced and all sensors but the light is still blinking. Any ideas/suggestions.
Thanx

For future reference, there are many topics on this subject. But...I feel nice today so I looked for you.

This is a thread that pertains to a Gen 1...but the proceedure may be similar. Codes WILL be different from Gen 1 to Gen 2.

John, how many flashes? Should be a repeating sequence.

Yes luigi it is. It will flash 4 times then stop and then 5 times and stop and 4 again and so on.Any ideas?

Primary Crash Sensor #2 - Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly.... Does anyone know where this one is located? I know of two. One is by the E-brake and the other is under the glove box.

You're sure all the sensors were replaced? It takes at least 2 to trigger the airbag.
The codes I see (now these are for my 90)
4- potential short in airbag deployment circuit
5- foreward crash sensor circuit shorted to ground
or combine to get 9- open foreward crash sensor deployment circuit

Could be a faulty replaced front crash sensor (front left, right or center)
Could be a faulty ground or a short in the system. Check the front crash sensors. Once they are triggered they must be replaced. They are black rectangular units near each corner and one is I think near the center rad. support.
