shouldn't be much more than 75 dollars to have a dealership plug it in. I'd go that route. Like you said, you want that airbag to work in a crash.

For $75 I might as well tell them to just fix it and not bother scanning it.
get it scanned by a certified gm dealership is the fastest way to get the problem solved.
never good to go in blindly and try to fix a problem. To fix the problem they first have to find out what's causing the problem. No ethical mechanic is going to start throwing parts on a car when it's throwing a warning light. That's wasting your money, and wasting their time

The independent Napa Autopro shop I work at has two different brands of scanner that can read the airbag codes. Any professional shop would be the same. You have options other than he dealer toget it read and/or fixed.get it scanned by a certified gm dealership is the fastest way to get the problem solved.
Some do, some don't. Down here in 'Merica a lot of independent shops do not keep up on the current scanners. I know when my airbag light went out, I went to two different shops, wasted about three hours of my life and they couldn't get the scanners to pull the code. I went to the dealership, they found the code and fixed the problem within 30 minutes.Originally Posted by thankful_ragamuffin
What was code and problem Ronnie Mund?
Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
B1448 I believe. Which was the passenger airbag sensor that tells the airbag system if someone is or is not sitting in the passenger seat. I also had faulty connectors causing it to spike then short out. It happened around the 5 year mark/100,000 mile mark.
a good way to tell if that's your problem is turn the car on, and have someone sit in the passenger seat. If the passenger airbag light doesn't go off (the annoying yellow one), that's the problem.
