Any specific type or number for this code reader?
Because most of them only use EOBD/OBD2 protocols, which gives you (limited) access to the engine and automatic gearbox ecu's. Not supported are Abs, Airbag, etc., etc.

I think you should try again with a Ford specific code reader.

If the light is on permanently there will be a code in the airbag module, as above, needs reading with something different.
