Air bags

[glenn57]

Ok motorheads.......got me a question........

couple days ago all of a sudden i light pops up on my dash and then where the odometer is it says "service air bag".

what kind of issue is this??? sensor of some sort???? truck wasnt bumped or hit nor was there anything out of usual done to it. the manual has all kinds of info about the passenger air bag and the only thing it has about the drivers side is if you do all kinds of non factory crap to it???///

Google it for your year of truck.  Have never had that happen.  My light keep coming on if Jake is in the seat.  He is only 60 lbs so barely heavy enough.

i'll check it out later. yea shadow foes the same thing, but it depends on how he sits in the passenger seat.

NAPA has a code reader you could buy. It will tell you which codes are showing and you can clear them using it too. Around $55.00. Or just try taking the negative cable off the battery.

O Reiley's does it for free...

will removing the negative cable require me to have to reset all my radio stations and such!

Such a pain.

Just had the cable off on my F250 and everything came back on after that. But then again it’s not Chev.

replaced the battery in the car and truck and all presets stayed there...

Well, I did the Google machine,  it says it could a seat belt issue, bad wire or sensor. With what I have to deal with to disconnect the negative cable,  since I'll need a new battery this winter I'll replace the battery. Thinking a trip to O'Reilly tomorrow iffin it ain't raining.

I yanked on the drivers side seat belt, so we shall see

What does that mean?  LOLOL  There is something wrong or not??? 

[glenn57]

Iowaboy to the rescue.  He texted me, apparently a sensor nut/ bolt is corroded and thinks it's an inexpensive fix. It'll have to wait till I get back from the cabin.
