Airbag code 51/52
 

I ran my car last weekend and left hard...after the pass my airbag light was flashing a 51/52. Does anyone know what this code means?

A code 51 is the air bag diagnostic monitor internal fuse blown. This could be caused by a short to eithe the air bag(s) or to one of the crash sensors locted in the front of the car or in the left kickpanel I believe (no boks I am at home and can't look up at this time). A code 52 is lost battery feed that is now returned, this may be caused by a low battery, Thishas to be cleared by turning the key on and waiting for the cod to flash out and then jumping two wires together for a few seconds. I am not sure if you are capable of doing this so at this time I will not tell you where the wire is located. The code 51 is to be cleared by first fixing the problem and then replacing the monitor which is around $150.00 I believe. Hope this helps Kevin.

Here is another thread from the past explaining how to do it as well....
