I wouldn't want an airbag in my car that doesn't work, let alone pass inspection.
i think yes abs does not need to work in order for the brakes to operate
Indicates a problem with the airbag system. It probably won't work when you need it, or worse, it might pop when you DON'T need it. Seriously, get it checked.
Yes, but it will not pass a code inspection and is unsafe.
In most states any installed light has to work. All the lights normally on your car from the factory must work plus any aftermarket safety light such as fog lamps need to be in working order.
No, the CHMSL is required by FMVSS108 - federal law, which the state cannot circumvent.
sounds like earth fault under drivers airbag, very common but will need to follow process to remove airbag.
We have a '78 International that requires DOT inspection (more demanding than regular) the speedometer is 20 mph off and passes every year.
No. If it was factory installed and still visible on your car, then the bulbs inside must light up.
You need to work this out so you can pass the class.
The airbag light indicates that the system has detected a fault with the airbag system. You'll need to take the vehicle to an authorized repair facility and have the airbag system diagnosed. I highly recommend that you NOT attempt this work yourself. Airbags are extremely sensitive, and even a small static discharge can cause release of the airbag. Airbags are expensive and untimely discharges are potentially dangerous.
Oh yes!! I just got busted at the inspection station. VA. law states that the drivers side window is the only window that must work on it's own power to pass inspection.
The airbag light in a 1995 262 will come on when there is an airbag circuit problem. The airbag will not work right in the event of a crash unless the problem is fixed.
