Electrical problem
2000 Pontiac Grand Prix V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Recently the dash air bag light started coming on while driving down the road. When starting the car it will do it's test and appears fine. The light will come on and remain on for several minutes and then go out for several minutes then it will repeat the process. Is there a possiblity that the air bag will deploy on it's on and how do I fix this problem?

It indicates a problem in the SRS system. Take to dealer or trusted shop and have trouble code diagnosed. SRS codes are "B" body codes and autoparts stores can only read "P" powertrain codes.

Generally when light is on system is disabled, but have it checked ASAP, if in an accident and air bag does not deploy, you could be seriously injured.
