First post here, been doing a lot of searching and reading on this site, but couldn't find an answer related to an issue I had. I recently bought a brand new 2015 Sierra 1500, SLE, 4WD Crew cab, 6.5' bed, to replace my 2004 Chevy Avalance. I had the curtain airbags deploy on me while on a mountainous road, bumpy, ruts, and side angles. GM is fixing the issue once on goodwill, so it is taken care of. So my question is there a way to temporally disable the airbags or curtain airbags (GM won't answer that obviosly)? From what I read, the new trucks have more electronics intergrated, and its no longer simply pulling the fuse marked airbags. Manual doesn't show any "airbag" fuse. I was thinking there may be a fuse, but its no longer marked "airbag." They weren't certian if shifting into 4-HI or 4-LOW would change the parameters for airbag deployment. If there isn't really a way, I'll try to get some answers from GM on more specifics on what will set it off... is there a minumim speed? Angle? The represnetative made it sound like there is gov't specs on when curtian airbags will deploy in a rollover, but I thought it was more proprietary to each company? I don't plan to 4-wheel my truck much (I have a RZR for that now) but it is nice to be able to 4-wheel to a camping spot or somthing like that every so often without worry of airbag deployment. Thanks, Sterling -
Hello. Is anyone having issues with the "air bag service light"? At 140 miles the abs sensor and bearing in the front passenger side went bad and the dealer had to replace it. The next 3700 miles with this truck were awesome but now I've been dealing with this air bag service light for the last 400 miles. I've already had the dealer look at it 3 times and they can't seem to fix it. The dealer inspected the wiring harness under the driver's seat and removed extra grease, then they replaced wiring harnesses, now they did some reprogramming and it's still acting up. There is nothing that triggers it, it just comes on when it wants to. I could be driving to the corner store and it comes on, stays on for about 10 - 15 seconds then it turns off. A mile down the road it comes back on for another 10 - 15 seconds then it turns off. I am beyond frustrated with this to say the least. Any comments / suggestions / recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
