Why does the airbag light come on after removing the steering wheel?
1 Answers
Fault light comes on because there is a problem with the airbag system, and the possible causes are not many. Reasons for the airbag warning light to illuminate: Engine self-check: The indicator light will come on when starting the car, but it should turn off after the self-check is completed, usually within about 5 seconds. This is normal. If it remains on, it indicates a fault. False fault: Since the airbag is controlled by circuits, there are many reasons that can cause the airbag light to come on. For example, if the battery is severely depleted, the airbag may send a signal indicating low voltage, generating a fault code. In such cases, clearing the code is sufficient. Actual fault: There are many possible causes, such as airbag malfunction, clock spring failure, collision sensor fault, loose airbag connector, or circuit break. Solutions for a constantly illuminated airbag light: First, determine if it's a false fault. Sometimes, low battery voltage can trigger similar faults, and repair shops usually check this first. To eliminate this possibility, remove the car key, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, and wait for 5-10 minutes to see if the fault light remains on. If it turns off, it was a false fault. If it stays on, use a professional diagnostic tool to clear the fault code and try again.
