Many people get frustrated when they see that one of the displays on their instrument cluster lights up. Immediately, they think about the expenses that will be required to fix the problem behind the light. Often, the thought of the money alone causes them to ignore the issue at hand. However, these kinds of things should never be ignored. If you are facing such an issue yourself, you should immediately find out what is causing your light to turn on and then proceed in getting the correct repairs to have it fixed. If you are seeing this problem with your airbag light, read on to find out what it means and what you should do about it.
When your airbag light turns on, this means that something is wrong with your airbag system. This doesn’t just mean your airbags are not functioning properly though. The problem can also lie within your seat belts, your vehicle’s impact sensors, or the SRS airbag control module—which are all key elements of the airbag system. Lucky for you, the fix usually lies in removing the SRS airbag control module and getting it looked at. If you bring your unit to an automotive shop or purchase your scanning tool, you’ll be able to decipher the hard codes and/or crash data behind the airbag light turning on. You can then proceed in purchasing a brand new control module or resetting the unit yourself. By doing so, your SRS airbag module will be working like new again and your airbag light should turn off. If the problem lies in your seat belts, then the scanning tool should be able to determine that too. Either way, the company Safety Restore can help you with both, if you do not trust yourself performing the repairs. The company specializes in resetting SRS airbag control modules and also repairing single-stage, dual-stage, and triple-stage seat belts.
