    It was a faulty seat belt tensioner in my car. It took the dealer a while to diagnose it correctly.

    I get this occasionally. Its a very strang error, they replaced modules and clips but it still comes back in cold weather.

    I need a new airbag control module. Though I am still waiting for it to come in and it was ordered about 3 months ago. I am getting sick of seeing that stupid light.

    its a terminal tension problem at the connector under the front seats. I went round and round with one. There should be a bulliten coming about soon for it.

    I just started getting random airbag errors on the DIC a couple of weeks ago.

    It was the actuator in my car. Light came on one day on the way home. Then, sometimes for the next couple days it would start dinging at me repeatedly like there was a new code every 5 seconds, and sometimes it would just ding once on my entire drive.

    Got this today, wondering if this is just a cold weather issue. Anyone able to get this covered outside of the 36k warranty?

    Went to a party on Saturday night, and my wife was driving and I was in the passenger seat. The airbag fault was going off the entire time - all the way there, all the way back.

    It only happens to me when there is a passenger in the front. When I'm driving alone it never goes off.
