The Air Bag module will sound the tone generator if it is having a problem turning on the air bag light. Check for a burned out bulb, loss of power to the bulb from the fuse panel, or open circuit between the bulb and the air bag module. Try replacing the airbag light bulb.

Yes, the bulb can be replaced. There are some precautions you must take. It is recommended that whenever you work on the dash, steering column, or the front of the vehicle near the air bag impact sensors, that you disconnect the negative battery cable, and wait for at least 2 minutes before proceeding. This is of course, to eliminate the possibility that you activate the air bags accidentally . Open the hood, over the headlight assembly you will find 3 screws that you will remove (they attach the headlight module to the radiator support panel) Pull out the headlight module and disconnect the electrical connectors. Do NOT touch the new bulb with your hands. Wear gloves while handling the bulb and installing it. If you get any oils from your fingers or skin on the bulb, the bulb will overheat where you touched it, and burn out very early, so you can't touch it. Good luck!
