Tuesday, September 26, 2006 9:38 AM
Hi my airbag light on my cavalier for some time has been going on and off, it will come on when im driving and then like 2 minutes later go off and stay off for like a day or it will come back on a few minutes later, any ideas on what this could be? thanks

You could have a problem with youre air bag sensor in the front bumper area, Could be wearing out.

Could be a number of things. The system is finding some sort of fault in the system. Like suggested. A crash sensor. IIRC it will take an impact registered on more than one crash sensor (there should be at least 2 of them on the system) in order for the airbags to deploy. (kind of a failsafe) If only one registers a crash, it'll recognize it as a bad sensor.

The dealership will have a tool that can read from the airbag system. It will tell them what's coming up, and probably what HAS come up in the recent past. Maybe there's an odd chance that your car is still under warranty?

I had the same problem. I had to buy a new sensor/computer thing (I really have no clue what it is) that is located under the pasanger seat.

my 04 does the same thing. i scanned it one time and it said something about low resistance of the passanger side loop. my obd 2 scanner can scan all gm code from the BCM to the radio. does anyone know where this loop can be?

check the connection on the airbag module under the passenger seat. I had this happen recently. It was because I had my passenger seat out recently and had sat on the module and pulled the connection out.
