Why is the airbag warning light on?
1 Answers
Reasons for the airbag warning light being on are as follows: 1. Instrument self-check. When entering the car and starting the ignition, the instrument panel will perform an automatic self-check. After the self-check is completed, the airbag light will automatically turn off. This process usually takes about 5 seconds and is a normal phenomenon. 2. False fault. If the battery is low on power, it can also cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. Additionally, the airbag system may report a signal indicating low pressure in a certain airbag, generating a fault code. In this case, simply clearing the fault code will resolve the issue. 3. Genuine fault. If the above two reasons are ruled out, it may be due to wiring issues, and immediate repair is recommended. Possible causes for this fault could be problems with the airbag itself, collision sensors, airbag clock spring, or other wiring-related issues.
