Rapid Flashing Of Air Bag Light, All Impact Sensors Disconnected: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford F-Super Duty, 1995 Ford Cab & Chassis, and 1995 Ford Bronco. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Each impact sensor has 3 wires. Two wires are used for air bag deployment and monitoring sensor's connection to diagnostic monitor. Other wire is used for monitoring mounting (ground) of sensor to vehicle. If both front impact sensors are disconnected and if both front impact sensors are not properly grounded, diagnostic monitor will flash AIR BAG light continuously at a fast rate.
