I've got an airbag light on in my car, and it's been there ever since I bought the car, though it's never been in an accident. Now I'm trying to sell the car, and would like to fix it first because I don't really want to get sued, though I'm not sure they could if I'm not trying to hide the light by pulling the fuse or anything.
Anyway, mine is throwing a code 11, which is for a short to ground somewhere. Following the BGB I did a resistance test of both font sensors, the spec is 755-855 ohms and I got about 815-ish for both. So they are still good. That's about all I had to time to test yesterday, but I'm making this thread so people who have had this problem and successfully repaired it can post what they did to fix it. And I don't consider pulling the fuse to be a "successful repair." Also post what code(s) yours threw. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

I did read on the visor that the airbag system "requires maintainance" after 10 yrs from manufacture, i figure we got 5 free years.. lol
I know i looked up the price as well, not nice at all. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

Did you two ever get the airbags fixed? I think I have the same problem. |

I replaced the center airbag sensor as the system code told me to, and no problems. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
