Clearing 5-2 Air Bag Module Code

[Fitz98]

Anyone know how to clear a 5-2 Air Bag code on a 1998 Expedition 5.4?
Came on after an internal windshield leak and drained battery.
Leak is fixed...I think.

What is a 5-2 code? Any airbag codes should be a B1xxx code on those.

I've read before about water getting into the airbag connection and causing a code that may go away after 80-ish ignition cycles.

Flash codes don't work on a 1998

Use a half decent scan tool or FORScan to get a proper code read/clear

Forscan should clear it.

I am not getting any DTC code on my scan tool (D8 Xtool).
When I start the car the air bag light flashes 5 times, with a pause, then 2 times. This cycle repeats several times until it ultimately stays on solid.

How is your battery? Doing some quick Google-fu there seems to be a running theme of a bad battery making the light blink.

Battery is good now. It was completely drained after the windshield leak caused some shorts in the electrical system that corrected themselves after the leak was fixed and everything dried out.
I saw that too on my searching.
