A few times the past 2 weeks this chiming sound & a message would pop up on the DIC, " Air bag warning " for a lil bit & then it would go away & come on later, randomly. So, I told my wife, I dont think thats good. So, we took it to the dealer & they said it was wise to bring it in, before it deployed for no reason. A free rental car & 2 days later, (just got it back today ! ) They said the found a short in the air bag circuitry & replaced the air bag & fixed the wiring. Its all good now !

 

Glad to hear that they got it fixed! Yeah, I think the air bags are one thing I'd really want it to go in for. I want them to go off in an accident, and not go off unless there is an accident!

 

Did they use DuraSeal connectors or did they solder them?

 

Guess what ??????? Its back @ the dealer again for the same thing !!!!!! Incompetent !!!

 

I could be totally wrong, but I've heard that if the airbag "light" is on, then the airbag will not function in a collision. Probably best that you have it at the dealer. Hope they fix it soon.

 

I had this problem,,there is a thread about it. My dealer fixed mine the first time in under 2 hours.The invoice reads:
Service airbag light is on.
Cause:Stage one short to ground,DTC B0012
c9902 R &I inflatable restraint steering wheel module and install flocking material
397 w n/c
1 15923770 coil n/c

cc: 0321
fc: 6579

 

You are totally correct, and not just a collision. It just won't deploy period.

That's total BS. Sorry they didn't get it fixed right.

 

It's good that it won't deploy unexpectedly.
