The airbag light on the dashboard comes for few reasons, either there is a bad connection or connection came loose but than the light would stay on at all times, if it comes periodically than I would look up to the owner's manual and also find the airbag check label inside the car as it might be faulty or in need of replacement. The danger is that if it is faulty it can blow up by itself or in case of accident (hope none happens) it will malfunction.

I have a check engine intermittent light with some shaking in the engine also intermittent, also air bag light comes on intermitently.

Something shaking is almost always a cylinder misfiring.
Which is usually a bad plug or wire. But it could also be an intake manifold vacuum leak.

What is SRS? Sometimes the dashboard SRS light comes on & I don't know where or how to shut it off.

SRS = Supplemental Restraint System

better known to most as the air bag system

basically you have a "short" in your system since the light is intermittent

long story short... you need a technician to diagnoses and repair your system

assuming you want your air bags to work when needed!

My air bag light is on. What is the usual diagnosis?

For a smog inspection you can still pass if your air bag light is on. Its the check engine light that will fail you

My air bag light on my 2000 Ford Econoline van flashes a 19 code. Does anyone know what that means?

Seems to be a very common problem with Ford. The wiring harness beneath the drivers seat contains the sensors for the airbag system. Go under the drivers seat and secure all the wires and clips. This makes most error lights for the airbags go away. Hope this helps and good luck!

SRS light now repeatedly blinks 5-1 problem code - stop/reset?

Sounds like an air bag problem. You will not be able to reset the light without fixing the problem. The steering wheel airbag electrical contact is suspect. Airbag will have to be removed and problem repaired. . I do not recommend you repair the problem unless qualified.

AIR BAG FAULT WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMEING WHEN CAR IS STARTED

I had the same problem. My 2008 Passat had to get a faulty rotator that controls the electrical part of the dashboard on the car.First the Air Fault light came on then my whole dashboard went out the next day. I had no horn, no radio, no lights on at all on the dashboard. It was that rotator part that controls the electrics. I was told they are faulty after a few months, they ordered a new one, installed and my car is good as new.
