2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport: airbag warning light

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Airbags · MO

I own a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with approximately 120,569 miles. The red airbag (SRS) warning light stays illuminated continuously whenever the vehicle is running. This problem has been occurring for an extended period, although I do not remember the exact date it started. A diagnostic scan identified code B134600: "Driver airbag (DAB) resistance too high (1st Stage)." I am concerned that the driver's airbag may fail to deploy properly during an accident, potentially causing serious injury. I contacted Hyundai about the issue and was informed that there is no open recall covering my vehicle and that the factory warranty has expired. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this potential airbag safety defect and determine whether a safety recall is warranted. I have photographs showing the illuminated airbag warning light and the diagnostic trouble code.

Airbag light illuminates on the dash and the seatbelt light illuminates intermittently as the seat electrical harness under the seat only connects in certain positions of the seat. My issue is associated with the passenger seat. This airbag light is associated with the airbag not firing or improperly firing. To avoid a recall, Hyundai has extended the warranty for vehicles for this issue but refuses to fix mine without payment.

I believe it is a clock spring failure. The airbag light is on & the buttons on the steering wheel do not work. I searched it & have seen several posts of others having same issue. I really feel this should be looked into, cause this is highly unsafe to be driving around with what very well could be an airbag that doesn't deploy & could seriously hurt drivers. Also, the contact stated the vehicle uses 5 quarts of oil within a 2 week period.
