What are the self-repair methods for the airbag light on the Baojun 730?
3 Answers
Read the fault code to first identify the general fault point. Based on the fault code, find the cause—most cases are due to loose airbag connectors under the front seats. Once the fault is identified, you can unplug the airbag connector and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, secure the wiring harness with zip ties and check the tightness of the connectors by moving the seat back and forth. If the fault is on the driver's side, locate the fault point according to the circuit diagram. Follow the principle of starting with the easiest tasks first, and remove the driver's airbag. If the issue persists, remove the lower steering wheel cover by taking out the three screws. If the fault is resolved, it indicates an internal break in the clock spring, which should be replaced.
Recently, the airbag light on my Baojun 730 came on, and I panicked a bit at first. I learned some DIY fixes from friends. The airbag light might be on due to a sensor issue or loose wiring connections. Check under the car seats for any loose plugs at the common connection points. Try disconnecting the battery negative terminal for a few minutes and then reconnecting it—this can reset the system, and sometimes the light will go off. When driving, be mindful not to let debris press on the wiring under the seats or let water from car washes corrode the connectors. Airbags are life-saving in critical moments, so don’t ignore the light for too long. After simple troubleshooting, test drive the car. If the light remains on or you’re unsure, visit a professional shop immediately to avoid major risks. I’ve succeeded a few times, but I always remind myself that safety comes first.
The airbag light coming on is quite common, and I've encountered it many times during car repairs. For the Baojun 730, DIY fixes can start with basic checks: inspect whether the airbag connector under the driver's seat is loose or dusty—clean off any dust and plug it back in tightly. Another simple method is to disconnect the car battery for 5-10 minutes, then reconnect it and start the car to see if the light turns off. This can reset the computer module. Be careful not to disassemble critical components like sensors or control units during DIY repairs to avoid accidental triggering. Airbag malfunctions affect crash protection, so always test-drive and observe the light after handling the issue. If the DIY fix doesn't work and the light stays on for days, it's safer to visit a 4S shop. Avoid sudden hard braking or bumps to prevent connector wear and prolong its lifespan.
