“During inspection inspecter 38573 reported a diagnostic fault as airbag control module. After failed inspection. I looked for part with the avail. Current part on vehicle is 1f2a-14b321-ee.

“Outrageous ,I have been researching the possible problem of an ABS/brake light ,that keeps coming on in my 2001 Ford wind star lx van.

This seems to me that there was some kind of defect in the system since everything happened backwards. …”
