I suspect multiple problems. The blank or intermittent odometer problem is a common problem in the 2002 Ford Explorer. The ABS and airbag lights are most likely a different problem than the odometer problem. For complete information on the intermittent odometer problem, see http://www.odometer-repair.com .
The airbag computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
Remove the dash cluster to gain access to the back of the cluster to change the bulbs.
Giving off light, as a light source. The sun, a light bulb, and a candle are all luminous. The moon is not because it does not give off its own light but reflects it from the sun; it is illuminated.
If there is just one light out, the bulb probably burnt out and needs to be replaced. A single bulb will not have a fuse.
The reason the Airbag light comes on after starting the car is because the system detects a fault or error with the Air Bag (SRS) system. It could be that the Seatbelt pretensioner or one of the airbags is faulty. It could also be the Airbag Module/Sensor itself. The only easy way to test is to either be handy with cars and have a 2nd commodore with the same setup (ie. same model commodore) or to take it to Holden to get them to look at it. Airbag parts are expensive and the module/sensor itself is around $400 from holden. they will charge an extra $100-200 extra to fit it. When that light is on it means that the airbag system will not function in the event of a crash. (Not good).
My "Passenger Airbag Off" light is illuminated even when I have a passenger is in the right seat. Isn't there a sensor in the right seat that is supposed to turn the airbag on when I have a passenger?
When the airbag light flashes and stays illuminated in grain, means the air bags our operational. When the symbol is illuminated in red, the airbags are not operational.
A malfunction with the airbag ( SRS ) system has been detected
In New Jersey, a car will not pass inspection if the airbag warning light is illuminated. This indicates a potential safety issue with the airbag system, which is critical for passenger safety. To pass inspection, the airbag light must be off, and any underlying issues should be addressed before the vehicle is presented for inspection.
In Washington, D.C., a vehicle with an illuminated airbag light typically will not pass inspection. The airbag light indicates a potential issue with the airbag system, which is a critical safety feature. To pass inspection, it's advisable to have the issue diagnosed and repaired before attempting to obtain a passing grade.
replace the srs module.
The airbag light typically appears as a silhouette of a person seated in a car with an inflated airbag in front of them. It may also be accompanied by the word "AIRBAG" or an icon resembling a circle with a figure inside. When illuminated, it indicates a potential issue with the airbag system, and it’s important to have it checked by a professional. The light usually appears on the vehicle's dashboard, often in yellow or red.
Problem with the SRS. Not a DIY repair. Take it to a professional. There may be a problem with your airbag system if the light is staying on. Take to a qualified technician or your dealership for diagnosis.
The only way on that year model is to unplug it. You can go up above the glovebox, and you will see the connector. There is no disarm switch on that year Explorer. The airbag light is going to flash and illuminate after you do, but that is the only way.

In Texas, a car typically cannot pass a vehicle inspection if the airbag warning light is illuminated. The airbag system is considered a critical safety feature, and the inspection process includes checking for any dashboard warning lights related to safety systems. If the airbag light is on, it indicates a potential issue with the airbag system, which must be resolved before the vehicle can pass inspection.
An airbag module typically needs to be replaced after a vehicle has been involved in a collision that triggered the airbag deployment, as it can no longer function properly. Additionally, if the airbag warning light remains illuminated on the dashboard, this may indicate a malfunction or fault in the airbag system that requires replacement. Regular inspections and maintenance are also essential for ensuring the airbag system is in good working condition.
