AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON

Hello,

When the air bag light is on the system is disabled and will not work in an accident. When the light come on you could have a sensor disconnected which is common but to be sure the system needs to be scanned which you can get a scanner from Amazon.

Follow this guide which will show you how to use it.

Thats no probblem thats why we're here to help qith your automotive needs

If the airbag light is on and flashes once in awhile. is it normal??? or ..does this mean that the airbag is not going to deploy on impact in an accident?

It should light for seven seconds after turning on the ignition switch. It goes out when all the self tests are passed. It should never turn on while driving. If it does, the computer detected an electrical problem and set a diagnostic fault code. Having that code read will get you into the circuit that needs further diagnosis. The system is turned off and the bag will not deploy when the light is on.

The dash airbag light is flashing Code12, indicating a lost battery feed. How do I find the problem and fix it?

Check the fuses. There's always two 12 volt feed circuits so when one is dead, the other one is there to run the warning light.
