Taurus Flashing Code 6

Q. I have a 1991 Ford Taurus that flashes a trouble code number 6. ie... flashes 6 times and pauses then flashes again. what is the code and how do I fix it?

1991 Ford Taurus
3.0 liter engine
Front wheel drive
Rack and pinion steering

A. The only system that gives a single digit trouble code in your car is the SRS Air bag system. The code 6 indicates: "Driver Air Bag Circuit Inoperative". The most likely cause of this code is the clockspring in the steering wheel. The dealer will be able to confirm this and replace the clockspring.
