If the airbag service light is on, the airbag system is malfunctioning. The airbag system is offline while the light is on. Every time you start your vehicle, the airbag system does a self-test. If the test reveals a component failure, then it takes the airbag system offline, and turns on the service airbag system light. This is not an indicator like the "maintenance required" or "change oil" lights. Your airbags WILL NOT deploy in an accident, until the malfunctioning component is diagnosed and replaced. Proceed cautiously or have your vehicle towed to your local repair facility. The money that you spend to fix this system, may save a life.
