Reasons for Airbag Light Illumination and How to Reset It
1 Answers
Reasons for airbag warning light illumination and reset methods: 1. Normal self-check illumination - When the ignition switch is turned on, various indicator lights on the instrument cluster will illuminate. If there's a system issue, the light will remain on; otherwise, it will automatically turn off if no problem is detected. 2. During vehicle operation - The most common reason for sudden airbag light activation is loose connection of the side airbag wiring harness connector (located under seats). Frequent seat adjustments may cause intermittent disconnection. Other causes include malfunctions in various airbag system sensors or control units. 3. After vehicle disassembly/reassembly - If the ignition is turned on before proper installation of airbag components, the control unit will log fault codes and trigger the warning light. In this case, properly reinstalling components and clearing fault codes will resolve the issue.
