2008 chevy aveo sedan - [xxx] - airbag warning light remains on at all times - no body codes are present / detected - (using foxwell elite nt630 scanner which claims to read / clear airbag codes) - I've already researched this issue - "mucho problemos" - with over half of all chevy aveo complaints including airbag warning light remains on. It's most likely either the clock module - which passes the passenger side airbag signals to the main SRS controller, the SRS controller module (located under center shift console area) or the passenger side airbag itself - code scanner only sees passenger side airbag stage 2 - (no stage 1 seen) ... Driver's side shows both stage 1 and stage 2 ... All pretensioners are proper (2 ohms circuit resistance) ... Battery strong / good / new - 1 year old - 13.5 volts - I'm worried dealer (hawthorne chevrolet - hawthorne nj) will actually not know the extensive issue with chevy aveo airbag warning light coming on - and will wrongly diagnose and try to charge big bucks - and problem will return - this is a safety issue - since with airbag warning light staying on - SRS airbag system will not operate, no airbag protection - I have also now contacted chevrolet on this subject / problem - waiting for their reply - located in northern nj - hawthorne chevrolet would be the proper dealership - (I purchased the car there - 10 years ago - they have serviced the car for routine repairs) ... Will be contacting them on this SRS airbag warning light problem - but worried they are not really knowledgeable on it ... There should be a recall on this problem - SRS / airbag warning light staying on - safety related failure - chevy knows about this by now for sure - information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Air bag light stays on. Was told passenger side air bag problem are common on the 2008 chevy aveo. I use this vehicle for a commuter car. Light came on around 25,000 miles. Hardly ever have a passenger in this car. Chevy needs to fix this problem. By the incredible large amount of complaints about the passenger side airbag, it must be a manufacturing defect.

This 2008 car had 30,985 miles on it when problems started. The airbag light on the main dash would come on while driving and the passenger air bag light would go off when no one was sitting in the seat. On 10/19/16 the gm dealer said that it needed a new battery (checked out ok in late july) and possibly a replacement passenger presence module (the entire seat bottom). They replaced the battery and the lights worked properly until 11/12/16. The sensor/seat had to be prepaid for $1,195 and the work was done by the dealer on 11/15/16 for a total cost of $1,386. I saved the old part. As of 12/9/16 the problem has not returned. Photos are available.
