Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/ This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights. See if your car is listed here. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/vehicles_list.aspx On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident. The flashing light on your car is telling the answer you need. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing. Airbagsolutions.com has the fault code charts to tell you what is wrong and how to fix it!

Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool.

When does an airbag module have to be replaced?

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.

How do you activate the passenger air bag on a Chrysler 300c?

To activate the passenger airbag in a Chrysler 300C, ensure that the vehicle is in the "Run" position with the engine on. Check the airbag status indicator on the dashboard; it should indicate that the airbag is enabled. If the airbag has been disabled (for example, due to a child seat in the front), you may need to adjust the settings or move the child seat to the rear for the airbag to activate. Always refer to the vehicle's owner manual for specific instructions and safety information.

How do you turn the passenger side airbag off in a 2005 Toyota Corolla?

The passenger airbag can be switched on and off with your key. The switch (looks like a lock) is located on side of the dash on the passengerside and can be operated with the door open only. While switched off, the indicator on the dash will light up to indicate that the passenger's airbag is disabled. According to the manual, unless the airbag is switched off, both airbags will deploy in case of an accident, even if the passenger seat is not in use. Check your manual for proper instructions!
