I just bought a 97 Chevy 1500 5.7L with 42k original miles...one owner. All test drives went great no sign of any problems. On the ride home on the highway the Airbag Light came on and then went off several times over a half hour period. Towards the end of the trip the Check Gauges Light came on and went off a couple times along with the Airbag Light.
I know I shouldn't mess with airbag components, but if the Check Gauges Light also came on could it just be a gauge issue? What exactly does the Check Gauges Light indicate? The previous owner is of no help.
I have an obdII code reader. Would that do me any good?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
