Airbag light

Hey Scotty,

I have an airbag light that’s been on for almost a year. I’ve paid it no mind until the other day, I was curious. I’ve watched videos on diagnosing the light by jumping the obd2 port between pins 4 & 9, and reading the sequence of blinks from that light. Mine was 1-1. Research shows that it’s a crash code and the module would need reset or replaced. Dealer charges $41 bucks but damage would have to be repaired. The truck was hit before, but nothing visible that shows accident. Is there another way around this? Is the dealer right about this?

Thanks

This may or may not apply to your situation. I recently had an airbag light but with no check engine light indication. I did some research and if the steering wheel mounted cruise control and the horn does not work then the problem is likely the clock spring.  I bought a OEM clock spring from Parts Geek for about sixty bucks. Borrowed a steering wheel puller from Auto Zone as they only require a deposit. Two hours later I was back in business with a cleared airbag light, horn working and cruise control working.  Be sure to disconnect the battery when working with the airbag circuits, ie clock spring. The last thing you want is having an air bag blow up in your face. Expensive and painful.  Cheers!
