Code 32

Post by **paulp** » Thu Feb 10, 2022 4:09 pm

Just wondering if anybody has had a code 32, the car i'm hoping to buy has failed it's MOT on this, i believe it's something to do with the passenger airbag, but might be wrong, any info gratefully received ?, by the way it's a 1997 2.5l, thanks, Paul

Code 32 is the drivers air bag, could be a issue with the clock spring wiring

Code 33 is the passenger side air bag

Paul,
Who told you it’s code 32 and do you know how they came to work it out, because not many garages know how it works with Ford Probes.
Have you seen the flashing on the dash for yourself?

Only know what i've been told, the seller has had it in for its MOT & the airbag warning light is on, apparently the garage has told him its a code 32, that's as much as i know , i was just thought with all the experience on here somebody must of come across this before.

Well, it does seem that Malcolm has pointed you towards a clock spring being a possible issue, as it's very rare that the actual Airbag is at fault.

Hi guys, this code 32 keeps popping up intermittingly, it can go a week with no code then it comes back out the blue. Didn't have it last weekend, but came to start it this morning & flashing straight away, drove it couple miles to destination, then when came to return it wasn't doing it ?. It was supposed to of had a new clock spring about a month ago to pass the MOT, anyone any ideas ?
