I do not think so. I presume your light will not go out.

The only airbag sensor is located in the airbag module (controller). Every other airbag connection is monitored for sort or open circuits

My theory is the tester sat in the drivers seat during the test and twisted round in such a way to make the seat sensor or its wiring fail. You could check for an loose connector under the drivers seat. However to extinguish the light the faults will have to be cleared by an airbag scan tool.

Can a crankshaft sensor cause a failure to pass smog test?

Probably not as the emissions test (Smog test) is carried out by inserting a sensor into the exhaust pipe.


Will the airbag warning light effect the emissions test?

Generally, the airbag warning light does not directly affect emissions tests, as these tests primarily evaluate the vehicle's exhaust emissions and overall engine performance. However, if the airbag light is on, it could indicate that there are other underlying issues with the vehicle that might lead to a failed inspection in some regions. It's always best to check local regulations to see if any warning lights might impact the testing process.

Will the knock sensor cause A car to fail a smog test?

Yes. Any faulty emissions control sensor, including knock sensors, will result in an automatic fail of any emissions control test, period. It doesn't even matter if your vehicle's actual exhaust emissions are within acceptable limits. In most cases, once it is determined that a sensor is bad, the test is ended immediately, and considered failed.


Can an oxygen sensor cause the car to fail emissions test?

Yes, along with dozens of other things.


Can loose gas cap affect emissions test?

Yes, a loose gas cap can affect an emissions test. A loose or damaged cap can cause fuel vapors to escape, leading to an increase in hydrocarbon emissions, which may result in a failed test. Additionally, the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system may detect the issue and trigger a check engine light, further complicating the emissions testing process. It's important to ensure the gas cap is secure before an emissions test to avoid potential problems.


Will you pass an emission test with a bad camshaft positioning sensor?

A bad camshaft positioning sensor can potentially cause your engine to run inefficiently, which may lead to increased emissions. Since emission tests evaluate the amount of pollutants produced by the vehicle, a malfunctioning sensor could result in failure. However, the outcome can also depend on the specific vehicle and the severity of the sensor's malfunction. It's advisable to address any issues with the sensor before taking the emissions test.


Would a hole in radiator cause the emishion light to come on?

No. If your vehicle can pass an emissions test, chances are that it's just a bad sensor.

How do you test air bag sensor on gmc sierra 2500?

Crash the vehicle but make sure your seatbelt is on. If airbag deploys, then the sensors were good. Replace all components and repeat.


Why does Vt commodore airbag sensor light appear after starting?

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).


Does emissions test effect Check Engine Light on Ford Explorer?

No an emissions test will not affect the check engine light. However an emissions test cannot be performed while the check engine light is on, you will have to repair whatever is wrong with the vehicle before it can be done. Simply resetting it wont work either as the system will have to complete several (7 or 8) emissions readiness tests before it can be done and whatever is wrong will most likely reappear by then.
