air bag light

[bob1robert]

I have a 2000 1500 Silverado and the air bags have been replaced but the light on the dash is still on. Any body know how to get it off???

Welcome to the Forum

 

This may sound like a dumb question...But why were the airbags replaced?

Was the truck in a wreck?

[Taaaaaaahoe?]

Id think it would reset if everything was operating normally...It does its own self check..

if the airbags were triggered then you will have to change the clock spring in the steering column as well as the airbag module (shcek with your dealer on its location) It could possibly be under the carpeting under the drivers seat.

THe clock spring is behind the steering wheel and plugs in under the dash.

There are 3 lplughs you could check... CLock spring, one under the drivers seat, and one behind ther glovebox ...all yellow)

Why would you have to replace the clock spring if the airbags went off? Im not saying your wrong...Just wondering, for the clock spring plughs right into the back of the airbag...and seems like 2 seperate units.

The manufacturers want all of thos items replaced any time the vehicle is in an accident and the air bags deploy for safety reasons. Once current goes through certain connections they don't want them reused. We used to have to do the same thing at Toyota.

O.K. now that i have replaced all these thing and spent hundreds any other ideas?????????????

and yes the truck was in an accident. i have so far replaced the air bags the clock spring the front sensor the module under the seat with no luck clearing the light.

It might require that the light be reset with the TechII...first you gotta pull a code and see if there is a problem, if all is well the code should clear with the scanner.

ok thanks going to see now if i can get er'done

im not sure if applies to your model but there might be something to do with the seatbelt after a collison that needs to be reset/replaced

If the airbag light is on a fault is still present. You'll have to hook up to a computer that can access airbag codes and find out what the code is.

 

Did you replace the impact sensors under the front bumper/frame? They can only be used once and they are no good.

 

If this is the second deployment of the airbags in this vehicle the SDM is no good. It is only good for two air bag deploying incidents.

 

Hope this helps, let us know what code(s) you've got and we'll go from there.
