What does the dashboard indicator with a seat and a round ball mean?
1 Answers
The dashboard indicator showing a seat and a round ball is the airbag warning light. If road conditions permit, when the safety warning light comes on, you can find a safe place to temporarily stop, turn off the engine, disconnect the negative terminal of the power source, wait for 5-10 minutes, then reconnect it, restart the engine to complete the vehicle self-check, and then check if the airbag light on the dashboard is still illuminated. Possible reasons for the airbag light being on: 1. Reason one: Issues such as steering wheel clock spring failure, loose or poor contact of the airbag sensor, airbag body failure, or airbag ECU circuit failure. These issues cannot be confirmed by simple disassembly and inspection but require using a diagnostic tool to read fault codes and systematically troubleshoot, then repair or replace the faulty components. After completion, the airbag warning light on the dashboard can be reset. 2. Reason two: The airbag light may come on due to a false fault, caused by the vehicle's battery being low on power or the use of other electrical equipment affecting the airbag's electronic control signals, ultimately sending incorrect feedback to the ECU and triggering the indicator light. In this case, simply use a diagnostic tool to clear the fault codes.
