Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag light is on as soon as car power on until it turns off passenger airbag is off I dont know if my airbags will deploy if I get in an accident . While driving steady speed of 50-60 mph while pressing gas sometimes it doesn’t increase speed but instead jerks until I let go of the gas and then depress it again it happenes maybe 2-3 times during a drive .
The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. Additionally, the passenger's side air bag light failed to illuminate while a passenger was seated in the passenger's side front seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and an independent mechanic, where the air bags software was reset; however, the failure recurred. The dealer confirmed that the air bags were Takata brand air bags. The independent mechanic determined that the air bag sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000.
My car is having the same problem that the 2009 Elantra Sedan is having. My air bag warning light recently came on while I was driving and does not go off. I am concerned that my air bags will not go off in an accident.
While driving smoothly, suddenly the dash airbag warning light came on and has stayed on now for some time. That apparently signals that airbag will not deploy in an accident and is a clear safety issue. This should be a recall issue. RG
My passenger side airbag light is on
I was driving from work and my airbag light come on so I got it tested and they said it was my passenger seat is it safe to drive my car
I just bought this car a few days ago, the airbag light was on all the time even before I purchased, the ex-owner got the car from his grand-ma as a gift and he said it had been like that since he started to drive, I searched online to find out about the problem, noticed that it's a common problem faced by many hyudai elantra owners.
I purchased a car from al at island auto sales, (631) 569-5050, 330 east main street, suite b, patchogue, ny 11772. 1-air bag light was/is on at all the time. 2-car was out of alignment/worn inside tires all times. 3-car transmission all of the sudden slows and then jumps, very frequently, while driving al said he will fix the issues. He aligned the car, but is still pulling to the side. I took it to a mechanic shop and he said: "tires are worn out from inside and can cause serious damage. Airbag speed detection sensor is missing all together and can be very dangerous. I have contacted al, via phone, email and fax, and asked him to correct the two issues. He is not responding. That is why I am contacting you for help. I have a record of my communications with island auto sales.
The light of the airbag used to turn on and off constantly I have taken it to the mechanic and finds no problem. Now the car has a week with the air bag light on. I haven't had any colitions
Srs air bag light on. Gurnee hyundai and hyundai USA 1(800)633-5151 said this does not fall under the federal safety agency campaign id : 11v143000 because my car is a gls not an se. Srs is always on and dealer said sensor was contaminated just like the campaign stated could happen on 2009 elantras. Hyundai wants over $2000 to replace this sensor.

Air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactive
- What is wrong
- Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 elantra vehicles manufactured from july 14, 2006, through november 1, 2008. The front passenger seats in the vehicles contain a weight sensor designed to deactivate the right frontal airbag when occupants of certain weights occupy the seat. The electrical connector for the weight sensor is located under the center console, between the front seats. Under certain circumstances the connector could become contaminated and malfunction such that the front passenger airbag will deploy regardless of the weight of the occupant.
- Risk
- The front passenger air bag could deploy in crashes in which it should not deploy, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant from the deployed air bag.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a protective cover over the weight classification system connector to prevent contamination. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expecting to begin during april 2011. Owners may contact hyundai's customer assistance center at 1‑800‑633‑5151.
