What Causes the Airbag Light to Illuminate While Driving?
1 Answers
Reasons for the airbag light illuminating while driving: 1. Vehicle self-check: When the car is first started, there is a self-check period lasting a few seconds during which the airbag light may illuminate. It will automatically turn off after a few seconds, and no action is needed. 2. Wiring issues may cause the airbag light to illuminate, such as severe battery depletion, which can cause the airbag to send a low-voltage signal for a specific airbag, generating a fault code. In this case, simply clear the fault code. 3. Problems with the airbag itself may trigger the alarm, such as faults in the airbag clock spring, collision sensor failure, loose airbag connectors, or broken wiring. In such cases, use a diagnostic tool to read the fault code, locate the issue based on the code, and resolve it promptly.
