Airbag fault code 14 - 1997 Explorer 4.0L SOHC

[Giles Guyton]

Hi Guys,

I recently got an airbag fault code '12' on my explorer,which I found out meant that the system had lost battery feed. I found a 10A fuse had blown so I replaced it, but now I have airbag fault code '14' which means that the airbag circuit is shorting to ground. Does anyone know the best way to trace and fix this problem or the best place for me to start the investigation?

Any help would be great as the vehicle needs it's UK annual roadworthy test (MOT) soon and it will fail with the flashing airbag light on the dashboard.

Many thanks in advance

GG

Easiest thing to do would be get a good elm 327 that is compatible with forscan and a copy of forscan on a computer. They you can actually do a live feed of what the circuit is doing.
