i have an 04 fx4 and my air bag light flashes several time sand then stays on what would be a good scanner to read a possiable code?

also my my mechincal friend has a otc genisys that is a 2.0 2005 for $350 would this be a good price?also would i be able to use it usefully on my truck?

 

How about you just get the LFC and look up what is wrong ?

Do you also have an ABS fault, or just the SRS fault ( thread title is ABS, but no mention of it in the post ).

 

Sorry it is the supplimental restraint system light.but now the light stays off( (figures),also is the scan tool a good bargain and would it be usefull in helping me with my pickup for future problems?

 

Next time you get a LFC, count the flashes ( would in a 2 digit format ) to get the problem.

Got me if that is a good deal, considering you don't need it right now why bother ?

You can always have Autozone scan the ( powertrain ) codes. Don't know if that one does body codes or ABS codes, or just eh same powertrain codes that you can get for free from Autozone.

 

Took it to autozone this moring but it would not pick up the fault

 

its considered a body fault and a scanner is needed to pull the codes, not a simple OBDII code reader like they have at autozone.

 

I'm s trying to find the flash code list does anyone have them handy?

 

Light Flash Code ( LFC ), save you the search



The only time you need a scanner that can do B codes is with the continuous illumination or if you cannot figure out for the dual symptom codes.
