Air bag

Asked by GuruN8L2X Nov 05, 2019 at 08:41 PM about the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox

Question type: General

My  light in the car always indicates Passenger  Airbag Off, whether there is someone sitting in
the seat or not. Is this how it should be, or is there a malfunction?

4 Answers

If it says 'Airbag Off' when someone is sitting in the seat, it is a malfunction and could indicate that it is non-operable. Get it into a dealer immediately, as the passenger may not be protected.

Check the wire connector under the passenger seat, sometimes they come apart or loose. It's connected to a sensor that tells the computer when a person is sitting there, if it doesn't detect weight on the seat, the airbag will not activate in case of a collision.

Yes, what GuruN86DM worked for me. Disconnected the battery, reconnected. This reset the cars computer and air bag light went off and everything returned to normal.
