My Airbag light is blinking. What do I do?
My AirBag light just started blinking. What does it mean? My seatbelt pre-tensioners are working. I tested them. I tried resetting my ECU, but the light is still blinking. Is their another way to reset the warning and see if comes back. I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt, so I don't need an airbag. I have had the experience of a passenger side airbag and I know that if you wear your seatbelt they are unecessary and just hurt. BTW I have a 2k1 Max 5-spd w/121k mi.
