96Ls My Air Bag Light Showing Up After Driving.... Help

billydpowell · July 17, 2012

I need some help, on my 96LS, my AB light lights up at start (as always) then goes off... in about 10 to 20 minutes it will come on again, while I am driving, and stays on until I turn the motor off. It has been doing this for about a month...

I dont know what (?) sensor or whatever causes the light to come on...

can anyone help? what can I check?

Have you moved the front seats recently Billy? I ask because there have been cases where seats are left in the same position for years and then suddenly are moved for say another driver and the plugs and sockets below the seat can become intermittent after movement.

Another cause is poor electrical contacts in the steering wheel air bag circuit.

You could also read the SRS fault codes to see if anything flags up.
