Airbag Service Light

[Punisher66]

So my airbag service light just went off and is staying lit. I have an appointment with the dealer on Monday, but if anyone has any ideas of how i could trouble shoot it myself it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Mine came on, I don't remember exactly what was wrong but my usual shop wanted nothing to do with it. I think something had to be tightened... $100 at the dealership.

Let me throw my few cents in here, I took mine to the dealer, they told me that it was common with the law enforcement Tahoe, because officers tend to stick their flashlights on the side of the seat, according to them, there is a harness below the driver seat, that gets disconnected. It happened to me right after I cleaned it with the vacuum, didn't notice hitting anything. But that is what they said happened. So check under your seat for any harness that might be disconnected, it might just be that.

That's interesting, because I keep my 3 D Cell Mag Light next to my seat and the light came on after the detailer moved my seat all the way back. I will have to go out and check this. Thanks for the info.

Sir, I owe you a beer. You just saved me a trip to the dealer. I checked the side of the seat and sure enough, my flashlight disconnected some kind of sensor. Problem solved. God I love this forum. Thanks!

Well I sure as hell hope I didn't pay $100 for that.......

So, I have the "service airbag light" on and off issue, I will check the connector under the drivers seat. Do I need to disconnect the battery prior to doing this?

I don't think so, I just plugged it in and it was good to go.

So there's a connection on the side of the seat?? Underneath I'm guessing? My light is on as well.
