Dash Lights stay on???
I have a 2003 Envoy. The seatbelt reminder light and the Airbag light stay lit up after the vehicle is started. The seatbelt reminder light eventually goes off but not as soon as the seatbelt is plugged in. The Airbag light stays on. Any ideas??

An issue with the SIRS causes the air bag lite to be lit, this requires a scan with an air bag function scanner, not an ordinary code reader.

Re: Dash Lights stay on???
On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident. Most systems can only be diagnosed using a scanner designed for the airbag system, however some use flash codes to indicate the problem. The scanners at Auto Zone or the ones that sell for @ $50 will not access the airbag system, only the engine systems (check engine light).
This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting some systems without a scanner. Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate that (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/ Check out these websites also for more info on airbag systems and the light. http://blog.airbagsolutions.com/arch...ould-i-do.aspx http://www.airbagsolutions.com/resources.aspx http://blog.airbagsolutions.com/ Check out this scanner for AIRBAG>>>It’s the cheapest one I’ve found! http://www.airbagsolutions.com/scanner.aspx
