Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system.

http:/www,airbagsolutions.com

This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights. See if your car is listed here.

http:/www.airbagsolutions.com/vehicles_list.aspx

On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident.

The flashing light on your car is telling the answer you need. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing.

Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool.

wallyhow do i reset the airbag light for my Lincoln ls 2001, i hit a pothole and

the airbag light came on.

I think the clockspring in your steering column has broken. Have you noticed any issue with your cruise control and volume controls not working? If you have it is definitely the clockspring which will have to be repaced. The light is on because the bag on the column will not work since there is no continuity.

2001 expedition 5.4 check engine light went on and i scanned it and came up with po 172 and po 175 codes my scanner says bank one rich and bank two rich for both whats the fix thanks?

The way, I took care of this problem on my 98 Ford Expedition XLT. Was I bought 2 big bottles of Fuel Injector Cleaner? I did it for the next two fill up's and what it did was clean all 4 Oxygen sensors. Problems fix the easy and cheapest way too... Oxygen Sensor There are actually (4) O2 sensors on your truck. IF you look inside the wheel wells behind the fender liner, right about where the frame is one O2 sensor, the other is underneath the truck about half way back in relation to the transmission. IF you see where the exhaust joints together, you went about 6" too far.

When you start looking at the O2 sensors, they are normally numbered something like "Bank 1 Sensor 1" Bank 1 is on the passenger side; Bank 2 is on the driver's side. Sensor 1 is the upstream sensor (near the frame, between the block and the cat) and Sensor 2 is near the Y-pipe (downstream of the cat).

Normally it is the upstream sensors (sensor 1) that go first. They see the harshest conditions. *** Auto Zone sales the Oxygen sensors for $50.00 each. ***

How do you reset check engine light on a villager?

You shouldn't really reset it until you know why the light is on. You can find this out by going to any place that will do OBD2(1996 and newer) or a OBD1(1995 or older) test. That test can clear it. Or there is always the non-recommended way too. that would be to disconnect the negative battery cable for 15+ minutes. doing this you will lose all of your radio presets and time in the vehicle.

What causes sensor light to come on a 1985 Nissan pickup?

The sensor light, in the guage cluster, lights up when the Oxygen (O2) Sensor is faulty or bad. It needs to be changed. It is located on the Exhaust manifold on the driver's side of the engine. It's a one wire sensor. Pretty easy to change. If you replace the o2 sensor it will not make the light go off. There are to plug ins in under the dash in the upper right corner.(above the the hood pop lever) One plug in will be yellow and white the other yellow and black. One represents 50,000 miles and the other 100,000 miles. If the truck is over the mileage the indicator will come on. This was so the owner would bring the vehicle in for inspection. Just unplug whatever one is still plugged in and the sensor light will go off.

2001 Neon with a code P0743 which is a torque converter clutch electrical code Any ideas what this can mean?

P0743 is for a open or shorted circuit. It means either a it is not grounded or that a wire has broken or something has come unplugged. It is most likely underneath the car. Check the wires around the trannsmission make sure they are all connected. I hope that this helps you.

Why would a 1992 F150 5.8 miss and pop through the intake at 2000 rpm or less then rev above that with no problem then let off the gas and it stalls has no power and check engine light is on?

Put a new egr electrical position sensor on and a new coolant temp sensor and fill the radiator with coolant. This will fix all but the check engine lite.

Why would a 1996 Concorde interior lights come on as soon as the car is shut off?

I am not too familiar with the 1996 Concorde, but most of the newer vehicles turn on the interior lighting when the ignition is turned off. This is to allow you to see inside the car before exiting without having to turn any lights on. They should turn off after about 40-50 seconds, or when the doors are locked and the alarm is activated.

What does it mean when your 99 solara check engine light comes on?

First make sure your gas cap is on tight. If you start your car a couple times after that & the light does not go out. It is most likely an emission problem. or sensor or something of that nature. Note that most emmission warranties on most cars are good for about 7-8 years or 80,000 miles. If the light is FLASHING First check all your fluids, oil, trans. if automatic, anti freeze.On some cars even check the brake fluid. All of which should be checked on a regular basis any way. If all fluids are fine & the light is FLASHING, get your car to a trusted mechanic A.S.A.P.!!!!!!!!!!!

Check for rust around your gas cap intake. use steel wool to get rid of the rust and improve the seal. This usually gets rid of the EVCAP code.

99 LS1 camaro If you replace your stock manifolds with headers that has an off road y pipe with no o2 senors how can you make it so your car's check engine light goes off?

you can do that by adding a o2 simulator to the 02 sensor just go to www.fbodymotorsports.com or www.hawksthirdgen.com and they have the sensor simulator They are called O2 SIMULATERS try a search, or just edit/tune out the code.
