AirBag Light only Comes on when Remote Start is Used or I get out of the Drivers Seat

[BlueCollarCowboy]

Howd'y Everybody,

So this is really the only issue that I've had with the truck since I got it. Anytime I use the remote start (GM Factory) and then turn the key to the on position BAM the airbag light is on and the DIC says "Service Airbag" or if I have the truck running and get out the light comes on with the same message. I am buying a BlueDriver Bluetooth scanner in the coming weeks, but if I shut the truck off and start the truck again sitting in the drivers seat the light will not come back on. I am aware that the driver's seat has the seat belt sensor but is there another sensor that I am missing nothing really came up on good or when I search the forum for AirBag. Even with the light on if a passenger gets in the truck, the system will register that someone is sitting in the passenger's seat. Just looking for some insight into some possible caused also once I get the Blue Driver I trigger the light and scan the system to obtain the code. If anyone has any idea why this is that would be great, also if it helps my truck has manual, no heat or memory seats.

 

Thanks

I have been looking into the Bluedriver too. I have access to Tech2's, GDS, Snapon Scanners and other blue tooth receivers. I have read the reviews and I am going to give it a try. There are not very many bad reviews but the ones they do have say they they have a problem connecting them via WiFi which is the way I like to connect to my receivers. http://amzn.to/2m5po8M

 

The drivers seat position sensor could be faulty.

 

Also... there was a recall on these trucks where they rewired some wires under your seat. If you give me the VIN number I can check and see if it was done. The wiring job could have been done poorly or not even done at all. You could be getting this done at the dealership for free.

 

I just need the last 8 of the VIN

Okay, so I just purchased a scan tool that is capable to scan airbag system, when I get the light to trigger and scan the system there are no codes. I know the scanner works because I scanned my 03 Intrepid because the airbag light was on constantly on the car and it pulled the code. So I'm not sure why there are no codes but the light is on and the DIC displays "Service Air Bag". Likely I'm still going to replace the driver's seat position sensor as suggested in an early reply. Anyone have any idea why there aren't any codes but yet the light is on.

The code reader will not pull the codes. If the light is on there is a code in the vehicle.
