2000-2006 GM Truck- Service Air Bag- Check This First!!! 

My service air bag light came on a couple of days ago. I was so worried my air bag would deploy going down the road. Thank u so much for sharing this video. I will check mine today

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this problem. My son moved the front seat and the light came on. Searched for a solution and your video came up and immediately solved my problem. Thanks again for Shaping your knowledge.

Wow..i'm impressed! How did you ever think to check that connection under the seat! Pretty amazing video. Thanks for your help!! Not only will it turn off the light, but now you have a working airbag that could save a a life. Very cool!!

Dude! I've had a service airbag light on for so long. I checked under the seat and had a broken wire. In 30 seconds I had it soldered back together and my light is gone. Thanks!!

This helped me verify a salvage yard replacement steering column with clock spring...working. Test and verify the drivers side airbag by disconnecting batteries, wait 20min. Remove airbag, disconnect the yellow plug down by brake release. With a multimeter check for continuity between the 2 contacts of connector going to column. It should indicate good continuity. Essentially unplugged it will short the 2 wires. Then insert 2 pins into the airbag connector and with meter check for continuity. It should be good and show a solid path through the clock spring, wiring to the plug, across the plug and back to the other side of the connector. So you know the harness and clock spring are good. Then I found the airbag plug was missing the plastic retainer that goes over the plug. I have to find the part number but it's a few dollars. The 2 side locks hold it but there's a little grey plastic part that pushes down in. The replacement was not there so had to swap it from the old plug. That's required for operation...no more airbag light.

Thanks a lot. I got this message last week and i was sad, because my car still new. So I searched for the solution now in you tube and found your vid and it was the same of my broplem. Tomorrow, I will fix it my by self after i learnt how to do it. Thanks a lot again. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I can see this happening more on extended cab or four door trucks where you seat passengers in the back, that plug connector cover can only do so much to protect it, but a persons foot can actually slide more under the seat and push down on the wires by accident causing seperation. I was having the same airbag light issue in my 2005 gmc sierra 1500, but luckily it was only the SIRS 15a fuse in the fuse box under the hood, it was actually missing, i bought the truck used, so i replaced the missing fuse with a 15a fuse, and now all is well, it even gave me back my seatbelt warning light, it never lit up, so it appears that the impact sensors and wiring are fine. The only difference between your truck and mine, mine is a single cab, so theres little to no chance that the wiring would have been damaged either under the passenger seat or the drivers seat, because theres wiring under there too.

Thanks for sharing this. It's so odd that the wire just broke like that. My 2003 Silverado 1500 has the same dashboard panel.

Fixed my light in my 2004 Sierra! Thanks for pointing this out!!

Fixed my car with that advice!!! Great job malaka!!!! Thank you

I will check in the Morning for this , Great Video I thank you so much.

Thanks for making this man just saved me a lot of time diagnosing! It's just a loose wire...😂

Thank you !! Mine is a 04 and it had a second plug , next to the main plug that your wire was broken on.

Figured under the seat could be a possibility as well, the seats were changed out in my 03 Sierra good video

great help thanks! my airbag service indicator was coming on only when i had the passenger side switched off for the child with car seat. took a look under the seat and sure enough , a wire was broken at the connector pin. different wire btw.

Great info! Works on my 2012 Silverado crew cab ltz just disconnect and reconnect the wires and the air bag service light turn off 👍🏻

I belive that wire is connected to the passenger presence module an that is what is tripping the airbag code because it lets the vehicle know whether or not to activate the airbags if someone is in that seat.

Thank you for this video. Fixed my problem!!!

Great video. Clear and concise. I have an 06 suburban with 273,000 miles on it and I get an engine light. Have replaced the Knox sensors and the harness OEM twice so something else is going on there wondering if you have had the same challenge with your vehicle?

Fixed my Duramax today. 1 airbag sensor in middle of radiator bracket. Not 2 like the 1500’s.

Thank you very much appreciated. Yes and Disconnect the battery. Big help.

Mine just came on today. I was freaking out, fear that it will go off while I'm driving for NO REASON. I will check under the seat. I hope it's the passenger airbag and not the drivers. THANKS ALOT THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT

Very helpful, thanks! ... except, I have a 3500 p/u truck. I'm not sure how I will get to the wire harness you got to, not having a back door access to the back of the front passenger seat. But I do thank you. I'll take a look, the truck needs to be smogged by end of the month. The light came on last week,, it's come on before for a while too.

Excellent Very helpful information

Great video, awesome!

Great presentation. Can you share with us why air bag would not be deployed upon impact/crash head on. Driving 35-40 mph. Can you tell which brand or manufacturer of air bag 2002 GM Chevrolet Suburban?

You nailed my problem too! Thanks so much!

Thank you same thing happened to my Chevy Silverado 2005 1500 4.3

Wow thank you and great video

Thanks man.it was my problem.but my wire was broke on driver side

Gonna try this tmw morning thanks

Thanx fr input ! Be safe !

Thanks for sharing this info

I got body work done on my 2012 GMC Terrain SLT. After i got it today from body shop he told me there is a air bag service light on and read out. What do i do to clear it?

Thank you after I had my truck washed I got a feeling the mobile detailer quick rash job must have disconnected the same wire you show. Thank you very much.

I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer with this exact same problem, the service air bag message is on the dashboard. I’m going to try looking under the front passenger’s seat to try fixing it like this.

Hello I have Cadillac Escalade 2002 and have the same problem the airbag light stay on ?

Thanks Bud, u da best!

Disconnect the battery first, folks!!! That's a biggie! Otherwise you might set them off. It could be very, very costly to you!!

is this the same for a 2000 gmc 1500 i don’t see the wiring harness under the passenger seat and it’s all the way up

If that’s not the case where is the airbag sensor in the front bumper of my 2005 Chevy Tahoe?

The light on my 06 silverado comes and goes I noticed it only comes on when I'm at a tilted angle checked both driver and passenger underseat but no wires to be seen ripped? What else could it be both impact sensors are good also could it be the cushion inside the seat with the liquid and sensor?

I had the light come on in my 99 Silverado after I poked a test light into one of the wiring harnesses under my steering column. Now I’m not sure how to how to turn it off lol.

As long as there is no danger that the bag will randomly fire while I'm driving, then I can live with it for a while. As I understand it, the system is disabled when the "Service Air Bag" light is on, so the bag should not activate randomly or even with a crash. I don't even want the damn SIR system. I'm ready to buy a 1950's vintage pickup without any electronics.

t There is a vehicle REPURCHASE recall on these trucks for front seat air bags and the seat covers having issues...

How did you get the pin to back out of the connector?

Crazy. . . I got the same 2 lights on. Service air bag and service tire monitor

How do you get rid of the light with the car with a lock on it

What if it has the "service air bag" message but not the airbag icon light?

Please do a video on how you got 60 pounds of oil pressure I am now a subscriber

Where can I buy the harness I do t have the wires under the passenger seats

I got this service warning and a service traction control warning after replacing the Bcm..

thank you so much

Hello, I have the same problem, only I already checked the passenger one and all the cables are fine, in the driver's seat I found a disconnected pin that also generates the light

Thank you!!!

Very helpful!! Thank You!!

How did you push the pin out?

How do you turn off driver 1 airbag light off

Very cool....and helpful. Thanks for this informative video. Question; is there likewise an air bag connection under the driver's seat that's vulnerable to the same fate?

good video bro

Just checked mine on my avalanche and the wire isn't broken but still have the airbag light??

I have a question, my service airbag light is on but also the horn doesn’t horn at the steering wheel, would this connection prevent the horn from working?

Dude thanks a lot problem solved

What to do with no wire loose?

I checked under the seat, my harness is different and no wires are broken. Trying to figure out what to do next

If you live in a winter climate , where ? what do you look for in the bumper and what do you do ?

Can someone help me out? I have a 2004 2500hd and airbag light came on I looked under the pass seat and it looked like it came unplugged….. I can’t find the harness the seat plugs into….. amyone know where it comes out of the floor?

Can you hard wire this plug my plug ended up missing😅

Gota love chevy turn 1 light off 2 come on hahahahhhaah my chevy had alot of lights on still ran 350k miles before it really needed work

I have a message showing sac conflable on display ?

Nice video I'm having trouble finding mine I nave a 2006 1500

Both of my front sensors are out and I don't want to shell out the money to replace them. Is there a fuse for the SRS? Can I at least disable the rediculous chime? It's driving me crazy. I don't need air bags. I don't want to remove my Bose stereo. The chime goes through the front left speaker.

My light turned on when when I was messing with the 4x4 switch

What If the steering wheel controls don't work at all none of them? Is it the clock spring?

Well I checked under the passenger seat and saw the harnesses were disconnected while one was stuck under the metal plating that the harnesses are supposed to sit on, if that makes sense.

You didn’t disconnect the battery??

May I ask what codes you where getting?

I have my service air bag on after I changed my driver seat on Tahoe 2003

I didn’t find a yellow clip on the passenger side. I have a 2003 1500 GMC and removed the seat. Checked all connections all are locked in place. Still get “service air bag “. ???? Confusing the light come on when key is turned on goes off then comes back on

Did you disconnect the battery first?

Question. If I just changed the passenger seat for another one that doesn't have airbag, my service bag light came on, does really affect my truck?

Yes, but can you fix it so that it doesn’t explode in my face?

So if not that, what do you think might be the issue? Open to any inputs.

But can you show how to pry the tab so I don't break this thing?

Dude it’s only been 10 years I’ve been looking at it

Mine came on when I moved my front seat up and down could that be the reason?

im more impressed with the oil pressure!

How in the world did you get 60 pounds of oil pressure in that vehicle

Now you can fix the TPS and change your oil, lol!

👍👍👍👍

What code was this

Thank you excellent

My Yukon days service air bag but if I shut it off and turn it back on the light goes out what is that

RATs all's good. Gott'a borrow a TECH 2

Thanks for the helpful video, better check that oil pressure man! Probably the sending unit...

Can you just unhook the airbags? I've had one blow up in my face that's why i'm asking

No loose wires or connections and the light is still on

Use some flux when you solder and it'll work a lot getter.

What code did show on this issue

Next vide, How to Service tire monitor system 🤣
