5 reason why your airbag warning light is on

In today's video we will see about 5 reason why your airbag warning light is on and how to solve this problem. There is always a chance that the airbag light is on by accident and it just needs to be reset. Otherwise, there are a number of other situations that may cause the airbags to fail: 1. Depleted Airbag Backup Battery If your car’s battery has drained recently, it may have also depleted the backup battery that powers the airbags. It may correct itself once the battery is fully charged again, but if not the backup battery will need to be recharged along with a sensor reset. 2. Faulty Sensors Your vehicle has many different sensors connected to different components. They link directly to the car’s computer system to detect and notify the driver of any potential issues. 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. 3. Damaged Airbag Clock Spring The airbag clock spring is there to maintain continuity between the electrical wiring of the vehicle and the driver-side airbag. It coils in and out as the steering wheel turns. It can become worn out naturally over time, which causes a poor connection and potential airbag failures. 4. Wet Airbag Module If your vehicle has experienced water damage, it could have affected the airbag module located under the driver and/or passenger seat. If it is shorted out or corroded, it won’t work properly. 5 – Recent Accident This is often the case when purchasing a used car from a private party or car auction. If the vehicle was previously involved in an accident and the airbags went off, there’s a chance it wasn’t fixed correctly as many SRS components are one-time use only. It could be a clock spring, crash sensor, seat belt tensioner, or other component.
