airbag warning light flashing.... 96 ford explorer

I would guess it was a code reader as well. Most basic code readers are set up to read generic OBDII codes. OBDII (On Board Diagnostics) is specifically for engine management/emissions. Higher end code readers may give you some factory specific information if you are able to enter the vehicle information.

The rest of the possible 6+ computers/modules/control units or whatever you would like to call them, require a higher end scan tool to access there codes and information. Even then you can be limited to what the manufacturer of the vehicle has allowed the maker of the scan tool to access information wise. There have been plenty of times that I know I there should be a piece of information but non of our scan tools have access to it!

I had a similar thing on mid 90's Chevy pick up a while back. I took it to the dealer, he told me that a module was out in my airbag system, and that the airbags would not deploy, even in an accident.

I guess what I am saying is I don't think the airbags will go off while you are driving.
