Air Bag Light Is Off & Will Not Come Back On ??

[santafeh3]

2009 Hummer H3T 3.7 - 119,000 miles

When I purchased this truck, the previous owner told me not to worry about the air bag light on the dash showing off and the air bag light on the gauges being on - it was only a sensor.

Well, I have done the steps in the manual to turn it on but to no avail sensor or not.

I visited my GM dealer's service department and they want $100 to diagnose the problem saying they had to put the "gauge" on it. I have a ScanTool CanOBD2 by Innova Equus 3130 which has worked for the other problems I've had.

Would that Scanner tell if there was a problem with the air bag?

Ideas/advice/suggestions please.

Thank you.

Black electrical tape over the light.

Fixed.

I'd recommend that you get evaluated by someone competent asap.

You're not going to airbag information from the computer with a $100 consumer grade scanner.

The liability and potential consequences that could be incurred from driving a vehicle with defective airbags, especially with a passenger, far exceeds the $100 for diagnosis.

Price out a GM Tech 2 scanner and you'll see why it's $100 just to pull codes.

Dumb question but did check the fuse?

A lot of us pull the fuse before wheeling.
