My airbag light

[AndrewB]

So my airbag light has been doing this thing where when you turn my zed on it will turn on for a second then disappear which is normal. But then after about 10 min it will turn on again and stay on for around another 10 minutes then turn back off, it also did not do this everyday, now it’s not doing anything, should I be worried because I use mine as a daily driver?

One thing is for sure. You need to check the shadow memory with a decent laptop installed scanner like inpa/ista.
this will save you from a lot of time wasted in trial and error checking.
if you see codes like low voltage, signal etc its a seat occupancy sensor probably the passenger side.
if you see codes like 05 or such, its a seat belt tensioner, and check if it is in place or loose.

I may be mentally challenged but I could not get inpa to run on a win 10, but when u mentioned the seat belt tensioner, I recall a couple of times when I had a passenger and they had a hard time pulling the seatbelt enough to latch to the seat. I followed all the steps to installed inpa but never got it right.

I had it on a very old Fujitsu laptop with an RS232 port, the setup it was made for.
Sorry can not help with later windows versions.
