Airbag LightI`m not a mechanic but years ago before modern engine management systems came into force, I could carry our routine maintenance on my cars. It`s a different story these days as you have to rely on garages as they hook up their state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to the car`s engine management systems. Faults on the system can`t always be detected by the driver and the first time that they know a problem exists is when a warning light comes on the dashboard. Numerous warning lights are on the dashboard and one of them is the
Airbag Light. Modern vehicles are fitted with airbags for safety but on occasions slight faults can occur with their systems. When the airbag monitor picks up on a fault it automatically shuts down the airbag system and deploys the
Airbag Light. Its then up to the driver to call in technicians who can diagnose what is wrong with the airbag system on the car. The fault might be with the wiring or it could just be a fault on one of the sensors that has to be replaced. Either way if the
Airbag Light comes on whilst the vehicle is being driven the airbag system should be looked at straight away.
