About half a mile later, it went out completely. TONIGHT, however, I was driving home and thought to myself, hey, the airbag light appears dimmer than usual. My airbag light problems went away for a few months and resurfaced recently, same behavior as above. I was the OP of this thread - as of a few hours ago, I'm a little scared to keep driving the truck.

It is one of the few systems that does not require a scanner to turn off the light. If all sensort 'test' good, the light turns off and stays off. The SRS ECU does a check every time you start the truck. The sensors attached to the frame can corrode.Īir bag systems are pretty 'dumb'. Also check that the wires coming off the connectors are still good. The ones under the hood and under the seats are the ones that can give you the most issues. People cram all sorts of stuff under their seats. These are the ones that are most prone to issues. I don't remember if the seats in your truck have sensors, but often there is wires under the seats for the air bag sensors. Those are a bitch, but again they are safe and are not prone to failure. There is the junction where they all meet the ECU, located on top of the transmission hump. There should be a couple attached to the seatbelt retractors, those are hard to get to, have to pull the interior panels, there is the air bag connectors, but those are pretty safe and don't usually fail. There will be one on the core support, there will be sensors on top of the frame, near the front of the engine compartment.
