Passenger airbag light was intermittent, now on all the time
I've had the passenger airbag light come and go, but now it's on all the time, and I'm getting the red airbag warning on the dash.
I wish this happened during the original warranty, or CPO warranty, but those expired on me a while ago now. I forgot what the quote from the dealer was, but I think it was over $1000 to do, possibly approaching $2000.. I can't remember.. it was while I was already paying $1500 for the eccentric shaft sensor replacement, so I wasn't about to approve another costly repair. Any experience with this outside of warranty? Any alternate locations to take it? I've been quoted around $500 for just the part alone, without install or code reset. |

I unplugged it, contacts looked good.. plugged it back in. I'll see if it helps. I'm starting to consider the bypass module they sell on eBay.

I would recommend you to have the software updated. It will get rid of that error most of the time. You probably just have a buggy year of software loaded on the car, and haven't done updates since the car was last delivered. I don't recommend those eBay modules as it would be potentially unsafe.
