I was driving down the interstate with my dad, when suddenly the air bag light came on. We checked the seatbelts and other factors, but it didn't turn off
My airbag light was illuminating intermittently. It then remained on. I am an engineer and check the codes. A code 0066 was presented. I changed the left front impact module, but same code and warning light were present. I did observe a strange things while diagnosing. Starting the engine will allow the airbag light to illuminate, system check, then extinguish but a few seconds later, light returns. The code cannot be erased. If I stop engine and immediately restart, the airbag light will cycle as normal but then remain off. When this happens, the code can be cleared, but if I stop the engine, remove the key then reinsert the key and start the engine the airbag light cycles then remains on with the code present. If I do the restart procedure, it will again cycle and remain off. The ocm was subject to a recall, I did bring to dealer initially in 2015, but parts were not available. I was called many months later and a repair was made, but I was not given any paperwork to prove this. The car is perfect with only 124,000 miles on it. It is well maintained.
The airbag light is illuminated but we have never had an accident
Airbag indicator light came on for no reason. It came on as soon as the car started after being parked.

Air bag light keeps blinking on and off while standing and driving
Car was recalled for air bag computer. I took the car in they replaced the part they were supposed to. When I picked up the car the air bag light was on. When I went back in they told me that they only replace the part and don't test it when done because chrysler does not pay for it. I verified this with crysler this is true. My safty concern is that they put cars back on the road where they may not be safe. Don't know if the air bags could go off accidentally or if they work at all.
