Chevrolet S10 airbag light comes on

Filed Oct 17, 2021 · Airbags, Brakes · KS

Twice now while lightly applying brakes to come to a stop at an intersection the antilock brake system engaged. Since it was unexpected I almost didn't come to a stop in time before rolling into the intersection into traffic. The ABS warning indicator was illuminated intermittently before this with recorded DTC C0268 (Pump motor circuit shorted). Also the transfer case input shaft seal failed which caused transmission fluid to leak into the transfer case, completely filling it. That caused the transfer case vacuum switch to fail and transmission fluid was sucked into the vacuum lines and eat through them causing a vacuum leak. Because of the vacuum leak, whenever I would accelerate to highway speeds and the engine would use what vacuum it could, the 4WD actuator would lose its vacuum then regain it when the RPM's dropped and try to lock the front axle while at highway speeds which would cause the truck to jerk and the gears to grind. And lastly the Airbag warning indicator is always illuminated for reasons I do not know.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet s10. The contact stated that the driver side air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (hometown chevrolet buick gmc inc, 2009 barnes st, reidsville, nc, 27320) where it was diagnosed that it could be one out of two failures: an air bag warning sensor or something behind the steering wheel. The diagnosis was incomplete until the vehicle could be serviced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer confirmed that there was no recall on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

At 37000 miles my s-10 pickup started displaying a airbag warning light on the dash. The light is not constant and appears more on warm days. Being concerned I researched this problem om the internet. I found that this is a very common problem with this model of gm vehicle. I contacted gm to see if this was a warranty or recall issue and they stated no. With the air bag light on it is my understanding that the airbags will not deploy as long as the warning light is being displayed. This is a safety issue that needs to be corrected. Another problem gm just ignores.

A month ago my vehicle had a dash board light come on intermittently. It is the air bag light. During this period I took the vehicle to my mechanic, he placed it on the diagnostic and found nothing wrong at a cost of just under $100. The light has continued to come on and the vehicle has stalled twice during this time. I have searched the internet for recall notices for the dealership and have not had any success. I believe this could escalate into an accident, and I certainly cannot afford to have the vehicle at the mechanics or the dealership for days on end while they have no idea what the problem is. Chevrolet should take the vehicle in, give me a vehicle to drive until they solve the problem.

The truck was in a head-on collision with a large tree at freeway speeds. Vehicle was hit in center of bumper with sufficient force to push engine into bulkhead and distorting dashboard and interior. Vehicle was totaled. My father was killed in the accident. Police reported he was not wearing a seat belt. Our concern was why wasn't the air bad deployed during crash. The air bag warning light was not illuminated shortly before the crash.
