I have a 2016 High Country and cannot find the keyslot to disable the front passenger airbag.  My truck was initially sold in Canada so I am wondering if it doesnt exist.  I have found a few subtle differences so far.  Can anyone point out where it might be?  

 

Thanks,

Bob

Such a key slot does not exist on K2XX trucks as far as I am aware. 

Excuse my Silverado newbie-ness, what does K2XX mean?  My owners manual mentions this is on the passenger dash end-cap.  Do not see anything.

Your owners manual says that there is a disable switch?

If you don’t have the on/off switch on your dash, then your passenger seat has the passenger sensing system which enables the airbag if a properly seated passenger is present. If no passenger is present, no airbag deployment. Some lower trim levels, WT, etc. may have the on/off switch, but I have never seen one in a K2. And K2XX is the assembly code for the platform on which your truck is built. ‘99-‘06 trucks were built on the GMT800 platform, ‘07-‘13 trucks on the GMT900 platform, ‘14-‘18 trucks on the GMT K2XX platform, the new platform for ‘19 and beyond is GMT T1XX. I tell you all that only because you will see those codes thrown around on the forum as a reference to a certain generation of trucks.

Thanks for the reply.  

 

The owners manual on for the 2016 on P81 shows this manual switch to disable the airbags for passenger.  I guess my High Country trim model doesnt have the option to disable passenger airbag.  Not sure I need it, just was looking for it after reading the Owners Manual.

 

Lots of gadgets to digest on the truck, almost to overload point.   Wonder how non-tech savvy new owners can even deal with the infotainment system!

 

Thanks,

Bob

I think it’s only on regular cab models since no back seat to put a baby seat.

When you turn your vehicle on, look up at the overhead console near your garage door opener buttons. Between your front overhead cabin light switches, if you see a indicator light come on which has a picture of someone sitting in a seat with airbags or the words “passenger air bag”, then you have the sensor in your passenger seat which will automatically turn on/off the airbag. That indicator light will tell you whether or not your passenger airbag is on or off at any given time.

I searched up and down for the key switch before I read further into the manual and found this info.

Hey everyone, I have been following this thread.  I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500HD LT Crew Cab.  I did not have the air bag shut off switch or the indicator.  I researched the parts for the switch, indicator, and an SDM module that is used on the regular/double cab (which has the switch).  The indicator now works but unfortunately I have the airbag light on.  I dropped off my truck at the dealership to have the VIN programmed into the SDM module but they are running into a few issues.  I'm pretty sure the regular cab and double cab does not have the passenger sensing system and just utilizes the on-off switch to turn on/off the passenger air bag.  I'm thinking of either trying a different place to program the SDM or try plugging in a passenger sense system (seatbelt and passenger seat pressure sensure).  We'll see, but I'm bound to make this work.  

 

SDM Part #: 13507217

Shut off switch: 22831601

Passenger Airbag status display: 84059831

passenger side panel for shut off switch: 23343670

Double cabs have the sensor.  My dog weighs 60 lbs.  Ask me how I know.

Thanks.  So it looks like there were two versions, one with the sensor and one without.  I purchased the wrong SDM (13507217) which was meant for a system with the passenger presence system and over head air bags.  I am trying a different SDM (13507221) which is meant for a truck without the overhead airbags.  Hoping this will work and the on-off switch will work.

I have a 2016 sierra 3500 denali, doesn't have light or turn off, how can I turn this off? I have another 2017 and no one was in the passenger and air bag deployed

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
