My air bag code on 2007 chevy cobalt is b0012 and b0013

Need to get it scanned to get the air bag code or codes,usually an easy fix IF you have the codes.
There is no way to get the codes without a scanner.

What code ? Plugging in a scan tool to check codes is how it's done , not by the light blinking an then staying on . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

AIR BAG Indicator
The AIR BAG indicator, located in the IPC is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions and to verify that the SDM is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM and the IPC are supplied with ignition 1 voltage. The IPC responds by flashing the AIR BAG indicator seven times. While the IPC is flashing the AIR BAG indicator, the SDM conducts tests on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected, the SDM will command the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator OFF via Class 2 serial data. The SDM provides continuous monitoring of the inflator module circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected, the SDM will store a DTC and command the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON via Class 2 serial data. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in non-deployment of the inflator modules in the event of a collision, or deployment of the inflator modules without the event of a collision. The AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired.


Code's on a factory or professional scan tool look like this
DTC B0012, B0013, B0014, B0016, B0017, or B0018
DTC B0022, B0024, B0026, B0042, B0043, or B0044
DTC B0028, B0029, or B0030
DTC B0040, B0041, or B0045
DTC B0051
DTC B0053
DTC B0057, B0058, or B0059
DTC B0064, B0065, or B0066
DTC B0077, B0078, B0079, B0080, B0081, or B0082
DTC B0100, B0101, B0102, B0103, B0104, or B0105
DTC B1001


Doesn't do the flashing light code thing .

Code refers to air bag system. Some one with a high end scan tool will need to diagnose the problem.

the following link covers yours reqest The driver frontal loops 1 and 2 are the loops to the steering wheel air bag. The SDM(sensing and diagnostic module for the air bag) is seeing these circuits as open. There is a bullitin for problems with a loose connection for the yellow connector behind the left kick panel(right behind the e brake and hood release). I would remove the kick panel, and disconnect and reconnect the connector a couple times. See if the light goes out. Or wiggle and move the connector with the key on, as the light should go out if it makes good connection. If it does go out you need to replace this connector. Good luck.

DO THIS

Don't Do This

Test for proper connection/high resistance at connector C221 and/or C222.

DO NOT replace SIR system components prior to testing for proper connection/high resistance in C221 and/or for DTCs B0013, B0014, B0017, B0018, B0024, B0026, B0043, B0044.

Caution: When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR components, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.

Hope this help (remember comment and rated this help).

I have a 2007 Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe and have recieved two recall letters on the power steering.

15 to 25 miles an hour im sure

B0012 is a fault on the DRIVERS side, you sure you read the code right?
If it is a B0012 then any of the wiring could be suspect the coil or the air bag it's self. I have seen a couple of cars coming with this code and I found the wires coming out of the air bag in the steering wheel to be rubing where they go through the steering wheel into the colume, may want to check there first.
Report back if the code is something else so we can try and assist you.

If you are replacing air bags that means that they have been deployed. If they have been deployed then the body shop that has the car should be repairing this along with the other damage. This job should be left to a professional because they are very dangerous when handled improperly
