How do I troubleshoot my airbag light?

The way you know if the sensor is at fault or not, before scanning your airbag system for faults, is to simply look at the “Passenger Airbag Off” light. If there’s no one in the seat, the light should illuminate. If there is someone in the seat, the light should turn off, signifying that the system is armed.

What would cause the airbag light to come on?

Sensors can fail or be tripped on accident to cause the airbag warning to illuminate. The sensors will need to be checked and the system will need to be reset. The airbag clock spring is there to maintain continuity between the electrical wiring of the vehicle and the driver-side airbag.
