What does it mean when the airbag fault light is displayed on the car?

[HarleyAnn]

If the warning light remains illuminated after the vehicle is started, it indicates a fault in the airbag electronic control system. This requires visiting a repair shop to use a diagnostic scanner to read the specific fault code. Generally, once the light is on, the airbag system will be deactivated. It is recommended to repair it as soon as possible. More information about airbags is as follows: 1. Introduction: Airbags are installed in three directions inside the vehicle—front (driver and passenger seats), side (front and rear seats), and roof. An airbag system consists of three parts: the airbag, sensors, and inflation system. 2. Function: The purpose of an airbag is to reduce the severity of passenger injuries during a collision, prevent secondary collisions, and protect passengers from being thrown out of their seats in dangerous situations such as vehicle rollovers.
