Air bag light

The five beeps - five times would indicate a code 55 , but factory service info only goes to code 53 .

• Audible tone - DTCs retrieved

• Air bag SRS system fault

• REFER to DTC Priority Table.

Did your air bag light flash at all ? Apparently this will do flash the air bag light codes as well .

Your best bet have codes checked with a scan tool .

check fuses and relays their are different locations for air bag sensors and their is also seat belt sensors and seat switches [check the connections under the seat ]---their are sensors under the front bumper behind the valance by the radiator support also if air bag curtains passenger side between inner fender, door and door pillar the following links have information or what to look for and assist in solving your problem the recall doesn't cover your vehicle but it pertained to the passenger air bag problem as well as the 05 posting
Why is my airbag light on 2005 Hyundai Elantra Air Bags Frontal Sensor Control Module Problems More than 280 000 Hyundai Elantras Recalled Over Air Bag Problems

There is no relay for the passenger side air bag . What seams to be the trouble ? There is possibly a code set in the air bag control module .
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) The air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front seat and second row outboard occupants, in addition to that provided by the 3-point safety belt system. Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantage of the SRS.
This vehicle line contains dual stage deployment (advanced restraint system) driver and front passenger air bag modules. These vehicles are also equipped with driver and front passenger safety belt retractor pretensioners. These vehicles can also be equipped with optional side air curtains that deploy from the A-pillar to the C-pillar upon a side impact. Vehicles with optional side air curtains are also equipped with seat side air bag modules in the front seats.
Side air curtains deploy from the headliner, protecting the first and second row outboard occupants during a side impact. Seat side air bag modules deploy from the outboard front seat backrest upon a side impact. In addition, a front impact severity sensor is mounted to the lower radiator support, a seat position sensor is mounted to the driver seat and a usage detection switch is added to the front driver and passenger outboard buckles. If equipped with optional side air curtain modules and seat side air bag modules, there are an additional 4 side impact sensors.
Vehicles are also equipped with an occupant classification sensor (OCS) system as part of the front passenger seat. The OCS system includes 2 OCS rails and an OCS module.
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Indicator
The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator is a visual indicator used to inform the front seat occupants of the passenger air bag deactivation state. The PAD indicator is a stand-alone lamp installed into the vehicle instrument panel in a position visible to each front seat occupant.
The restraints control module (RCM) controls the state of the PAD indicator through a direct hardwire connection, based on information provided by the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system. The PAD indicator is lit to indicate the passenger air bag module is disabled. An exemption to this is when the front passenger seat is determined to be empty and passenger safety belt buckle unbuckled, and therefore indication of a deactivated passenger air bag module is not necessary. In all other cases, the PAD indicator is unlit when the passenger air bag module is enabled.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the PAD indicator prove-out period is initiated by the RCM. The RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove-out the indicator function and verify to the front occupants correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.
The PAD indicator will be lit/unlit within 1.0 to 1.5 seconds of a change of state from the OCS system.
When an OCS system fault is present, the RCM defaults the passenger air bag module to the last valid state received from the OCS system until the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the OCS system fault is still present when the ignition switch is turned ON, the RCM defaults the passenger air bag module to enabled regardless of the size of occupant in the front passenger seat. The PAD indicator will be unlit. For information on the OCS system, refer to Occupant Classification Sensor System in this section.
The following table indicates the passenger air bag status and the PAD indicator status based the size of the front outboard passenger occupant.

Always refer to your owners manual, but if there is no key switch in the glove box, you probably have the sensor system which monitors weight in the passenger seat. If you have more than 30lbs in the seat the airbag is "on" and the sensors are activated. Otherwise the passenger side is off if the seat is empty.

did ya plug the harness back in that connects to the seat belt and seat

Is this for the passenger side bag. Possibly the seat sensor.

had the same problem with my mini and it turned out to be the air bag sensor in the passenger seat. dealer replaced under warranty. ;o)

I had the same issue wit my 2006 Hyunda Santa Fe air bag light staying on. I had the system scanned and it was the passenger bottom seat. It has sensors in the padding that monitor the weight on the seat. If it is over 40-60 pounds then in case of an accident the air bag will deploy. This is to protect children in case they are setting in the front seat. However if the wire sensors over time break and the circuit is open then the air bag light will stay on. The bottom seat is around $300 dollars not counting labor to replace.

Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.


Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat cover

Weight on passenger seat

(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s)

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

HELLO SERGEY ITS JP . IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS A SEAT RECOGNITION SENSOR DEFECTIVE THIS SENSOR SEATS IN THE SEAT CUSION ,TO DETECT IF A PERSON IS SEATING DOWN OR NOT TO ENABLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IF IS DEFECTIVE IT WILL COME ON AND OFF. .AND THE SEAT BELT HAS A RETRACTION DEVICE THAT TENSIONS THE SEAT BELT WHEN IN A CRASH ,SO IF THE SEAT IS NOT DETECTING IT WILL NOT TROW THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OR THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER ,THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY A QUALIFIED TECH
