[Shotimes] Air Bag Light, ABS light, code readers,Thexron bleeder--answer one or more!

ABS could be a shorting sensor wire. I had that on my car for 5 months where
in the rain my ABS light would remain off. Pull the plugs and test with a
digital multimeter. You want it to generate at least .5 AC volts while
turing, and have a resistance of 1050-1200 ohms for a sensor to be good.

Hello
 
**My air bag light has been blinking a "5-1" pattern, meaning five short
blinks, followed by a one long blink. Is this related to the clockspring or
might it be some sort of module/connector behind the glove box?
 
**ABS stays on sporadically--weeks at a time, then it stays off for a bit.
No rhyme or reason (damp weather/ recent brake work, etc.)  Any ideas? Bad
sensor or perhaps a corroded connection?  I do see evidence of coolant
(white residue) on top of the ABS control unit, I just haven't had time to
really investigate it all. Looking for some helpful hints!
 
**Any code readers out there that could intrepret what's going on? Dealer
wants about $140 to diagnose both. I'd rather invest in a code reader!
 
**Anyone have a Thexron(?) unit to bleed the ABS box? I might be interested
in purchasing one--or borrowing one if you are close by!
 
Thanks in advance.
