Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag indicator light on for passenger side air bag system issue. No recall issues yet with limited miles on truck.
On my 2015 Chevy Silverado truck the Service Airbag light has been coming on sporadically. I did a google search and received this back. Yes, there has been a recall on the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado regarding the airbag system, specifically affecting the roof-rail airbags (RRAB) which may deploy without a collision due to a potential manufacturing defect in the inflator, causing parts to potentially propel into the cabin and injure occupants; this recall affects both the 2015 Silverado 1500 I did a search via my VIN number and your site tells me my truck is not applicable. Please provide some guidance. I need this fixed and should not be charged for the fix.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the air bag control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,380.
The air bag warning light came on. The dealership determined it is the air bag passenger presence module that has failed. None of the air bags will function when this warning light is on. It is available for inspection. This problem started intermittently 2 month’s ago and now happens every time it’s driven.
While city street driving my 2015 chevrolet silverado (approximately 38,500 miles) on 5/14/20 at varying speeds in normal conditions, the air bag warning light appeared. Upon subsequent drives (both highway and city streets), the air bag warning light again appeared. No passenger was sitting in the front passenger seat. The truck was brought to an authorized gm dealership on 5/21/20 to address the issue. Code boo81 was scanned and wiring checked. Dielectric grease was added to connector and power removed temporarily from passenger presence module. Technician noted the module "relearned" and road test showed no further issue. The power was reconnected. While highway driving on 5/26/20 at varying speeds in normal conditions, the air bag warning light again appeared. On subsequent drives (both highway and city streets), the air bag warning light would turn on then off. Additionally, 5 audible warning dings could be heard but no warning lights were seen. No passenger was sitting in the front seat. After bringing the truck into the same gm dealership on 6/2/20, the service advisor recommended the passenger presence module be replaced; however, there are no available passenger presence modules in the united states. Service advisor told me when the air bag warning light appears, no air bags will work in the truck. As of 6/4/20, I was assigned a senior advisor by gm to oversee my case. The truck remains parked at the dealership as it's currently unsafe to drive. No one has been injured as a result of this issue.
Bought my vehicle 2 months ago and airbag light and airbag service light came on. Went to get checked out and the passenger retractable sensor is bad and needs fixed. This should not be an issue with my newer truck.
I'm having issues with my chevy silverado dying out while driving when I'm making turns that will cause the truck to have error messages popping up with regards to the stable trac sensor, the airbag light coming on, the radio going in and out, and the AC going out/coming back on. While backing up the truck is locking up on me, and the steering wheel is jerking out of my hands, which will dye out as well. When I go to start it back up the truck then gives me an error message of roll down the drivers side window that you have to do in order to clear it out. I've currently had this at the chevy dealership the past 6 months without them being able to fix this numerous times.
