What does the airbag warning light indicate?

[DelPeter]

The airbag warning light may illuminate under the following circumstances: 1. Instrument self-check: When entering the vehicle and starting the engine, the instrument panel performs an automatic check. The airbag light will automatically turn off after the self-check is completed, which usually takes about 5 seconds. This is a normal phenomenon. If the airbag light remains illuminated for a long time after the self-check, it can be determined that there is a genuine fault. 2. False alarm: If the battery is low on power, it may also cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. Additionally, the system may feedback a low-pressure signal from a specific airbag, generating a fault code. In this case, simply clearing the fault code will resolve the issue. 3. Genuine fault: If the above two causes are ruled out, then it may indicate a wiring fault, which should be repaired promptly. Possible causes of this fault may include issues with the airbag itself, crash sensors, airbag clock spring, or other wiring-related problems.
