You need to reset it: Two choices dealer or with an airbag reset toll (e.g. Peake Research R5/SRS approximately $130). If it keeps coming back on, a common fault is one of the front seat belt buckle connections. Here is the internet address. http://www.peakeresearch.com/

SOURCE: driver air bag light is on and said airbag service

the reason this usually happens is due to an open circuit in the coiled ribbon connector to the airbag from the steering column, the part is called the rotating clock spring contact.

Chevy Venture Van 2007 air bag light coming on dash board while driving

That means there is a fault in the airbag system. Every time you start the vehicle it will do a self check. If the self check fails the light will stay on.

You will need a higher end scan tool to pull codes from the airbag module. Once you know what codes are present you will have a better idea of what direction to head into.

Post the codes in the comments below and I'll do my best to help you figure it out.

Air bag warning lights appears on the dash board every time I turn on the ignition on my 1998 Porsche Boxster

You need to have the airbag serviced as there is an error somewhere. it also means that the airbag will not deploy in an accident, so you should get this looked at by someone with experience troubleshooting airbag problems asap.

Airbag light

Obviously the computer in you car does not sense the airbag. It could be something simple like a bad connection or something major where the propellent or gas generator in the old airbag is faulty. In any event your system will not deploy so you should recheck your wiring and if that doesn't fix the problem, the airbag should be replaced.

I have a light on in the dash board its a guy sitting in a sit with the seat belt on and a big circle on him what does that mean

Good Evening, that is your safety restraint system (airbag light), to get the code for it you need to find someone who has a scanner who can code your airbag system so you know what part of the system caused the error, from there we can fix it. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Airbag module location for 2004 Mazda6

it is positioned in the very centre of the dash board, behind the radio/Air con unit, it is bolted to the floor, you will need to remove the dash board and possibly the air con unit to access. once the module and air bags have been replaced it shouldnt need anything else.
