Air Bag Error Code 5-2
I have a 1997 Ford Expedition, 5.4L engine and have an air bag error code 5-2, 5 blinks followed by two blinks, repeated twice and then the air bag light stays on.
Just prior to getting this error, the battery went dead on my wife. I'm not sure the cause of that, but I jump started the vehicle and put the battery on a 2 amp charge when we got it home. Since then, no battery problems, just the air bag light.
I know the code means something, I just don't know what it is. Any help from those that know would be very much appreciated.

Once 256 key cycles have been recorded since the concern was last detected, the DTC will automatically be removed from memory.

If someone had access to an IDS ( the WDS replacement ) the airbag code could be reset after the repair.

But, I enjoyed your quote up there. Wonder how many people don't get it?

OK, but I didn't know you were that edumacated, and I was trying to keep it simple for the peanut gallery. 256 is still all the counts in that register until it hits 11111111, so my statement is still accurate.
