air bag light

so my airbag light turned on today...checked underneith the seat and nothings stuck under there...what could it be?

 

Bad sensor, bad connection to the impact system, random computer malfunction. Prolly safest to take it to a dealer and get it figured out.

the airbag should be in failsafe and should not fire while that light is on, even in an accident.

 

so basically...if i crash right now i wont have an air bag? how about the passenger?

 

same thing happened to me yesterday and now its gone??? weird!??

 

Take it into the dealer asap.............have them check it out....its better to be safe than sorry!.....Airbags save lives..............I know mine did!

 

word im just scared ill have to pay 90 dollars for a diagnostic but eh my lifes worth more than 90 bucks i hope lol

 

Is your truck under warranty ?

 

My airbag light is on too... happend about 90,000 miles..


Anyways, what happend man? Nasty damage! Glad your alright. Did everyone else involved make it out ok?

 

problem solved...took my truck to the service department in indio california where im working at the moment...hot girl helps me out i only have to pay a 100 deductible and they sent me to my hotel in a shuttle...good service and i told em about the rear tsb and she said shell look into it but i might have to pay a 100 dollars for that too

 

So what was the problem? How much would it have been if you didnt have the deductible?

 

i dont know but the diagnostic woulda been 90 so whatever

 

Did they tell you what the problem was? My airbag light is on

 

not exactly but she said the spring from the air bags is a common malfunction with tacos

 

What does it say in the owners manual?

I'm pretty sure it says to take it to a dealership asap, but I don't have the book with me at the moment.

Air bags are not something you can just reset, the light only comes on if there is a problem with the system and it has to be diagnosed and serviced at a shop/dealer.
