Default Not Sure

what just happened - hopped in this morning to run errands and as soon as I fired her up this beeping commenced 4-5 beeps followed by a pause and then repeats - was not my phone cus I checked it

No check engine or any other light on the dash, this is a bone stock F150 down to the radio in the dash plus everything works as it should; showing 262 and a half thousand on the odometer

Any of the experts on here ever experienced something like this?

Thanks in advance...

No it isnt. the airbag light is flashing a 2 digit fault code

for example it would flash twice then pause and then 3 times

that would be a code 23

count the flashes and post the code

I'll start by saying the truck runs/drives just fine

So, with engine cold the KOEO test revealed 636 and 565: canister purge ckt code has been present for over a year - trans oil temp prolly cus vehicle sat overnight eh?

Then a pause and 72 showed; a insufficient MAF/MAP change - this is a new one but don't imagine it is related to air bags etc.

Seems this beeping happened last year too and again truck runs fine possibly on a one year timer this beeping reminder?

One caveat, the module responsible for the beeping for lights on, key in has been removed by me a long time ago, so I guess may that could be the issue?

Appreciate any help/insights here...

you need to pull the airbag code not any check engine light codes. does the airbag light up when you turn the truck on

Yes, the yellow light for seat belt/air bag is flashing

Oh, is that actually flashing a code? I'll check...

On start up it flashes 1 pause 1 pause 3 flashes

So, 13 I guess and have now located list of theses airbag codes - horn and cruise control both working btw
