if your airbag light stuck on and you're
0:02
wondering what it means or how to turn
0:03
it off you're not alone that little
0:05
light freaks a lot of folks out
0:07
especially when everything else seems to
0:09
be working
0:10
fine i'm Tom from Car Justify and I've
0:13
helped tons of drivers with this exact
0:14
issue whether it popped on after a
0:17
battery swap or just showed up one
0:19
random morning the good news is in most
0:21
cases you can turn it off yourself
0:23
without taking it to a shop or dropping
0:25
a bunch of money
0:27
now first off always make sure the
0:30
battery is disconnected before you touch
0:32
anything around the airbag system safety
0:34
first always the most common reason for
0:37
that light is a loose or faulty
0:39
connection under the front seats slide
0:41
the seat back and look for a yellow plug
0:44
that's the airbag sensor connector over
0:46
time especially if you move your seat a
0:48
lot those connectors can loosen up just
0:51
unplug it give it a quick clean with
0:53
some electrical contact cleaner plug it
0:56
back in tight and reconnect your battery
0:58
sometimes that alone resets the
1:01
system if the light's still on step two
1:04
is to scan the system you'll need an OBD
1:07
scanner that's onboard diagnostics and
1:10
you can get a decent one for under 50
1:12
bucks plug it into the port under your
1:14
dash turn the key to the on position
1:17
without starting the engine and read the
1:19
airbag codes it'll usually tell you
1:21
exactly which sensor or part is causing
1:23
the issue clear the code if it lets you
1:26
and see if it stays off if it does
1:29
you're good to
1:30
go still no luck check the seat belt
1:33
tensioners these are part of the airbag
1:36
system and sometimes trigger the light
1:38
if they're jammed or misfiring same goes
1:40
for the clock spring that's the little
1:42
ribbon inside your steering wheel that
1:44
allows the wheel to turn while keeping
1:46
the airbag connected if your horn or
1:48
steering wheel will buttons aren't
1:49
working that's a sign the clock spring
1:52
might be bad that one's a little more
1:54
involved but doable if you're careful
1:56
and take your time in a lot of cases
1:59
just cleaning those seat connectors or
2:01
clearing a basic fault code will do the
2:03
trick but if you're ever unsure or the
2:05
light keeps coming back it's always
2:07
smart to have a pro take a quick look
2:10
safety systems aren't something to
2:11
gamble with so to recap check those
2:15
undereat connectors scan with an OBD
2:18
tool and keep an eye on your seat belts
2:20
and steering wheel three simple steps
2:22
and in most cases that light's gone for
2:24
good if this helped you out give it a
