Help In Diagnosing Airbag Light

[Jason in DLH]

Hi all! So my OBD scan tool is coming up with no codes regarding my airbag light and I’m finding myself wandering in the dark.

While replacing my steering wheel I swapped out the clock spring and airbag light is still on.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

What type of scan tool are you using? Is it able to read SRS codes? Many of the lower end models only read DTC codes and not ABS or SRS codes.

I’m using the BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro OBDII Scanner which claims it can read the airbag sensor.

Are you using the BlueDriver app, or some other app?

I’m using the BlueDriver App which is great and even tells me I can check the airbag. I’ll be scanning one more time tonight, but I doubt it’ll catch anything.

Might be worth a try to take it to Autozone and have them put their scanner on it and see what their scanner says.

I s’pose I should. I might buy stuff that I don’t need though.

True!

Most of the time it’s a cracked front impact sensor on these. If you Google it you can see there is an issue with the bolts being too tight and the sensors crack. Might just do a visual inspection of those sensors to see if they’re cracked. They’re mounted up behind the bumper.
