Service Air Bag Sensor GMC Chevy 2007 Silverado 

This video was a great help to me in repairing my "Service Air Bag" message on my 2007 Suburban k1500 Z71 with 184k miles. I listened to the video twice and then proceeded to repair the problem with a driver's side sensor for $85 from Advanced Auto. The "bulge" on the sensor is exactly what I found on my sensor. I also checked the bad sensor with an OHM meter and got a reading of infinity. I also agree that it is a good idea to disconnect the battery prior to performing any work on the Air Bag system. Thanks so much.

Thanks for posting this I have my truck into the dealer right now for a recall for the airbags. The dealer called me and said they completed the recall work but I need a new sensor. They quoted me $475 to repair it. “no thanks” was my reply. And after that call I find this video. thanks again

Just saved a ton of money by switching to RU-vid

Thanks for posting this video saved a lot of time and money. I'd like to add that removing the plastic skid plate really makes connecting and disconnecting the plug way easier than leaving it on.

This video makes me happy. That same air bag light came on while I was driving home tonight. I was worried Id have to shell out a few thousand dollars to clear it

Replaced both of mine today on 2007 GMC Sierra after dealer diagnosed both as bad. Watched this video and saved nearly $700 off dealer quote by ordering the parts online and installing them. Less than an hour start to finish. It would have been faster with a ratchet wrench. I am a DIYer, but not usually on the vehicles.

Finally found the time to fix mine. Thanks for the video! Of course I replaced the good one first..thank god for ratchet wrenches.

I've got the same truck and just this week also started getting the same tire pressure sensor and air bag message. Someone told me that the reason the air bag message came up was cause I just recently hit 100k on odometer. Whatever,,,, I like you answer better and really do appreciate the heads up with this video.. tanx

Excellent , that's what you got to do to say money ! , and you saved a lot of money by not taking it to a shop, let alone the dealer. And the special feel for irregularities by using your finger , sure paid off... Good job.👍🏻

Just swapped my drivers side sensor out of my 2007 Suburban. As stated in the video, the sensor was protruding so I figured that was the bad one and the swap out worked like a charm!

Thanks for the video very helpful, only thing I would add is disconnect the battery 1st or you can set off your airbag.

well after changing out the air bag sensors and come to finding out that that wasn't the problem I put the original ones backb got my money back cause they're expensive, I started checking the plugs underneath the passenger seat. I unplugged them and sprayed them with wd40 and reconnected them, after and few days I guess the truck computer took care of the rest cause the air bag warning notice is no longer showing.

Just wanted to write and thank you for posting your vid. It fixed my problem, followed your vid. Very much appreciated. Thanks

I am so glad my trucks are lifted, I don't have to jack them up to do this. Also ratcheting wrenches work better in that tight space.

This solution worked for me. The driver side crash sensor was bad. Exactly what this video showed.

I hit some very nasty vermont potholes the other day on my front left Ill have to check mine as the culprit too thanks for the lead

Great video. I used a ratchet wrench though. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for posting. Used your advise to fix this issue on my truck.

Well at least the bolt didn't break off in the radiator support like mine did! if it's rusty use some penetrate oil.

just saved me a ton of time and money. thank you.

thx for the video, i pulled both sensors out there is a very slight bulge in both sensors. Both seem identical. Anyway to test the sensor? Maybe both are bad

Thank you for you're video it help me out so much, now I know where too start look for my airbag light problem

Invest in ratcheting wrenches for tight spaces that prevent conventional ratchets and sockets from working .

Hi !! Should I disconnect the battery to change the sensor??

Price is now 237.00 dlrs each in auto zone

Thanks!!! Had to replace two for $500 dollars for my 07 Avalanche. I did save on the diagnosis and labor though.

Great video. Very informative. Thanks for posting

You think the manufacturer would make it a little bit easier you get to a safety device why so much money they seem to all fail and we put up with it it just angers me it should be a lot easier I wonder if you should unhook the battery when you're working with the airbags

This video helped however I cannot find the part for less then 170$. You mention Amazon for 35$. I cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated

Did you disconnect the battery while messing with the sensors?

Thank you very much! It worked.

Use a speed wrinch

Excelent video thanks

The sensor caused you problems with the buttons on the steering wheel

Mine does that at every beginning of winter. It just goes away after a few days/week. Probably a mixture of colder air and condensation triggering something

Any chance you have part number, Link no longer works

So can anyone confirm a bad sensor has a bulge on housing, mine does? Can these sensors be tested, I have 1 sensor? I'm way to cheap to buy a scanner right now and auto stores will not scan because of Corona. Came on after I was done washing my truck after replacing cab corners and rockers that were welded in, I disconnected battery and computer before welding. 2006 2500hd work truck.

what happens when they service airbag reads service airbags but they airbag light does not come on

i like how the dog licked the module, he new hwat was up!

Do you have to worry about disarming the system? Thank you.

Hi. I can’t find the sensor. I found in auto zone but they’re asking $300! Help please?

thanks for your help

This helps alot thanks!

I have a 2007 Chevy Suburban. The door chime alarm, turn signal clicking sound and all other audible sound the vehicle usually makes are not working. I there a module or relay that works all of these? Where is it located?

I wish you would have named the part because your link no konger works

The link for the part from Amazon does not work....any chance anyone have a part number I can link to or look up?

Thanks. Saved me a lot of $

Check out your seat sensor connectors very carefully. I knocked mine off vacuuming between the seats and broke the retainer tit off on my 07 Avalanche

Hi. I tried this and unfortunately doesn’t work on my pick up. Do you have any idea what else could be the problem? Thanks

I have a Chevrolet Silverado 2011

What’s the part number

Did u disconnect the battery or not?

What was the code that you had for this. I have a B0020 -2 passenger instrument panel air bag deployment loop Stage 2 short to Ground. Any help would be help full. Thanks

Whats the part number?

thank you so much

So, I went over mine, and it seems they both have a bulge to them? On the left side however, the bolt does have some surface rust. So could the left one be faulty? From moisture? Any thoughts?

Thanks

Thanks homie

Would you know what to look at for a B0041 code on a GM (Saturn)

Thanks bunch for the video However the link is no longer good. Tiako the amazon dog told me it was a dead link...

Re post the link to the airbag sensor. It no longer works.

I will try

...and thats my Dog. Ha

BUT you had 2 sensors there , how do you know which one is broke and which one isn't??

A

Nitpick but these are called impact sensors, not air bag sensors.

amazon doesn't sell these anymore .... bullshit

Pro tip 🤣

Lmao. ALL your lights are on why does it matter if airbag one is on too. Lmao. I have lights on and I really don’t care as long as it does not effect my truck driving the lights can stay on. Seems like every week my truck wants a new part and throws a light in my face. Lol. Well they can all stay on. Don’t care really. Just had airbag light come on and I’m not spending more money for that sensor. 😂😂😂

Pro tip : Don’t offer a Pro tip unless your a PRO!

thank you so much
