Airbag light on

[camopaint0707]

If someone sits in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag off light turns off which I assume means there airbag works. It's the srs light in red that stays on.

I know. I was saying as far as my Airbag light situation. Not yours

Oh, gotcha.

yours should be an easy fix. You can get all the connectors (the ones you find under the front seats) for under 40 bucks at a parts store. I'd start there. If that doesn't fix it, I say it's the module. Still not a super expensive part.

B1448 I believe. ... 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.

This is a cool share. And that's were the forum succeeds. Thanks!
I find it interesting the computer will store a code like that and not send up to a reader when requested.

It has to read from a different module as far as I understand, not the ECU. The airbag control module sends the code. Thus is why some, not all, but some scanners won't pick the code up if it's from the airbag system. Don't take my word for it, I'm recalling this from about 4 years ago second hand from the mechanic who fixed my Aveo

sounds like a way for the dealership to guarantee them some money

imagine that... A business that is trying to make money.

I'm not sure what your beef is with corporations or dealerships. As an Aveo owner I have no problems going to the dealership when my local affordable shop can't fix a problem. Yes it's more expensive, but I think it's a small price to pay to have a certified mechanic who was trained to fix my car. Also they have access to all Technician bulletins on your make/model car that can save you money, as it's easier for them to find out the problem.

From my personal experience the "horrible money grubbing" dealership that solved my airbag light problem gave me the option to buy the parts from the parts department and do the repair myself as it was very minor. I opted to have them repair the car. My own personal choice. So if they were after money, they wouldn't even have gave me the option to fix it myself after their diagnosis of the problem. Maybe if you put some more gauges, DVD players and G8 mufflers on your car it will magically fix your airbag problem. Just an idea

Well that was mean. My feelings are slightly hurt. And taking my g8 to the dealership has resulted in a lot of problems. Considering not a single one ever worked on one and few didn't even know what it was. A dealership to me is always a last resort. In this case, I was trying to exhaust my options before I was forced to go there. And the airbag thing just started, at first I thought it was just a blown fuse.

you come off rather tin foil hat like with your dealership hate. Try a less passive aggressive posting method maybe. We're all here to help. I've exhausted all that I know about this issue and how it effected my Aveo. The only advice I can give you is go to the dealer or buy every single Airbag part and replace it. Because without pulling the code from a proper scanner, you're clueless as far as what's causing the airbag light to trip.
