This video was a great help to me in repairing my "Service Air Bag" message on my 2007 Suburban k1500 Z71 with 184k miles. I listened to the video twice and then proceeded to repair the problem with a driver's side sensor for $85 from Advanced Auto. The "bulge" on the sensor is exactly what I found on my sensor. I also checked the bad sensor with an OHM meter and got a reading of infinity. I also agree that it is a good idea to disconnect the battery prior to performing any work on the Air Bag system. Thanks so much.
Thanks for posting this I have my truck into the dealer right now for a recall for the airbags. The dealer called me and said they completed the recall work but I need a new sensor. They quoted me $475 to repair it. “no thanks” was my reply. And after that call I find this video. thanks again
Thanks for posting this video saved a lot of time and money. I'd like to add that removing the plastic skid plate really makes connecting and disconnecting the plug way easier than leaving it on.
This video makes me happy. That same air bag light came on while I was driving home tonight. I was worried Id have to shell out a few thousand dollars to clear it
Excellent , that's what you got to do to say money ! , and you saved a lot of money by not taking it to a shop, let alone the dealer. And the special feel for irregularities by using your finger , sure paid off... Good job.👍🏻
Replaced both of mine today on 2007 GMC Sierra after dealer diagnosed both as bad. Watched this video and saved nearly $700 off dealer quote by ordering the parts online and installing them. Less than an hour start to finish. It would have been faster with a ratchet wrench. I am a DIYer, but not usually on the vehicles.
Just swapped my drivers side sensor out of my 2007 Suburban. As stated in the video, the sensor was protruding so I figured that was the bad one and the swap out worked like a charm!
Soo so sorry guys...... Lmao I'm JUST now about to fix this! I posted that comment 2 YEARS AGO ! AND I'M JUST GETTING TO IT! Wth. So anyway, I'm on my way to the store 😂😂😂😂😂
I've got the same truck and just this week also started getting the same tire pressure sensor and air bag message. Someone told me that the reason the air bag message came up was cause I just recently hit 100k on odometer. Whatever,,,, I like you answer better and really do appreciate the heads up with this video.. tanx
donald johnson did you ever find the problem. I just hit 135k. Airbag sensor or course and the tire sensors. I can’t get them to read the pressure after many failed learning attempts.
My airbag message came on at 100,000 miles on my 2007 GMC Sierra too. Coincidence? I think not!!that's why it will just stay on. My Chevy dealer wanted $140 just to diagnose the issue and then more to fix once the issue was determined. Screw GMC!!! When it's obviously a common issue, our government should make them fix it for free since this issue is obviously a scam
well after changing out the air bag sensors and come to finding out that that wasn't the problem I put the original ones backb got my money back cause they're expensive, I started checking the plugs underneath the passenger seat. I unplugged them and sprayed them with wd40 and reconnected them, after and few days I guess the truck computer took care of the rest cause the air bag warning notice is no longer showing.
where can I find the passenger sensor bec I have bought two sensors and I reset it and it was good for a day but next day turn back on so I'm guessing it's not a sensor it might be a plug like you said..thanks in advance
If a car has been hit at any time it might have disabled the seat belt! If that's so the belt won't retract or latch like it's supposed to. This happened to a friend's 2011 Silverado, when he hit a cow one night!! He had to replace bot seat belts to get the damn light off!!
thx for the video, i pulled both sensors out there is a very slight bulge in both sensors. Both seem identical. Anyway to test the sensor? Maybe both are bad
So can anyone confirm a bad sensor has a bulge on housing, mine does? Can these sensors be tested, I have 1 sensor? I'm way to cheap to buy a scanner right now and auto stores will not scan because of Corona. Came on after I was done washing my truck after replacing cab corners and rockers that were welded in, I disconnected battery and computer before welding. 2006 2500hd work truck.
What was the code that you had for this. I have a B0020 -2 passenger instrument panel air bag deployment loop Stage 2 short to Ground. Any help would be help full. Thanks
Bro that wasn't a save. 😖 no disrespect, you were already looking into the problem on your own when you sat and watched this video........ so next time, CONTINUE working on it on your own and DO THE LABOR. I gotta be honest it sounds like you SPENT about $375 to SAVE IN LABOR.....on a job that might've taken you an hour to do on your own (and I think labor these days are at about $70 an hour?). I can't stop typing things into this box because my mind is absolutely blown right now lol.... but.... ugh! No disrespect.
I have a 2007 Chevy Suburban. The door chime alarm, turn signal clicking sound and all other audible sound the vehicle usually makes are not working. I there a module or relay that works all of these? Where is it located?
Daniel if your still having trouble with audible vehicle sounds check to make sure your radio speakers are not dead. Use balance and fade to check each. Most sounds on 2007's come from speakers and stock speakers didn't last long.
Mine does that at every beginning of winter. It just goes away after a few days/week. Probably a mixture of colder air and condensation triggering something
You think the manufacturer would make it a little bit easier you get to a safety device why so much money they seem to all fail and we put up with it it just angers me it should be a lot easier I wonder if you should unhook the battery when you're working with the airbags
So, I went over mine, and it seems they both have a bulge to them? On the left side however, the bolt does have some surface rust. So could the left one be faulty? From moisture? Any thoughts?
they come and go. Keep looking. they didn't sell them the 1st time I was looking but I checked back a couple weeks later and they were on sale again. Price point should be around $68
Lmao. ALL your lights are on why does it matter if airbag one is on too. Lmao. I have lights on and I really don’t care as long as it does not effect my truck driving the lights can stay on. Seems like every week my truck wants a new part and throws a light in my face. Lol. Well they can all stay on. Don’t care really. Just had airbag light come on and I’m not spending more money for that sensor. 😂😂😂

Do you have a 1500? They told me they dont have the recall part! And i called like 4 dealerships!
The dealership told me that because of takata bankruptcy it’s not a recall anymore I looked at them as they were a bunch of idiots

Finally found the time to fix mine. Thanks for the video! Of course I replaced the good one first..thank god for ratchet wrenches.

Just wanted to write and thank you for posting your vid.
It fixed my problem, followed your vid.
Very much appreciated.

mine just did that at 135,000 miles. Both the tire pressure and air bag message. Did you find out your problem yet?

May be a silly question, but why did you caulk the tires?

@@rodbuilder3657 Will that airbag light come on immediately after a crash?
Bk ung
just saved me a ton of time and money. thank you.
thx for the video, i pulled both sensors out there is a very slight bulge in both sensors. Both seem identical. Anyway to test the sensor? Maybe both are bad
Any update? Mine are like that too
I am so glad my trucks are lifted, I don't have to jack them up to do this. Also ratcheting wrenches work better in that tight space.
Thanks for the video very helpful, only thing I would add is disconnect the battery 1st or you can set off your airbag.
I hit some very nasty vermont potholes the other day on my front left
Ill have to check mine as the culprit too
thanks for the lead
This solution worked for me. The driver side crash sensor was bad. Exactly what this video showed.
Thanks for posting. Used your advise to fix this issue on my truck.
Hi !! Should I disconnect the battery to change the sensor??
Thank you for you're video it help me out so much, now I know where too start look for my airbag light problem
Well at least the bolt didn't break off in the radiator support like mine did! if it's rusty use some penetrate oil.
Great video. I used a ratchet wrench though. Thanks for the tip!
This video helped however I cannot find the part for less then 170$. You mention Amazon for 35$. I cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated
Any chance you have part number, Link no longer works
Great video. Very informative. Thanks for posting
Did you disconnect the battery while messing with the sensors?
lol right,
I'm glad i read the comments mannn ,i almost bust the air bags .
Thank you very much! It worked.
Excelent video thanks
what happens when they service airbag reads service airbags but they airbag light does not come on
So can anyone confirm a bad sensor has a bulge on housing, mine does? Can these sensors be tested, I have 1 sensor? I'm way to cheap to buy a scanner right now and auto stores will not scan because of Corona.

What was the code that you had for this. I have a B0020 -2 passenger instrument panel air bag deployment loop Stage 2 short to Ground. Any help would be help full. Thanks
You ever figure yours out? Dealing with the same code
@@bsparks78 Yes when they put the replacement dash airbag in they pinched a wire and it grounded out the circuit
Thanks!!! Had to replace two for $500 dollars for my 07 Avalanche. I did save on the diagnosis and labor though.
Bro that wasn't a save. 😖 no disrespect, you were already looking into the problem on your own when you sat and watched this video........ so next time, CONTINUE working on it on your own and DO THE LABOR.

Hi. I can’t find the sensor. I found in auto zone but they’re asking $300! Help please?
Invest in ratcheting wrenches for tight spaces that prevent conventional ratchets and sockets from working .
Did u disconnect the battery or not?
always disconnect the battery when messing with any wiring or welding
Do you have to worry about disarming the system? Thank you.
+Michael Buckman disconnect the battery then play with it
Hi. I tried this and unfortunately doesn’t work on my pick up. Do you have any idea what else could be the problem? Thanks
Sorry. I don't.
wagslick thanks
Price is now 237.00 dlrs each in auto zone
What’s the part number
thanks for your help
This helps alot thanks!

this happens every time it rains !!!
The link for the part from Amazon does not work....any chance anyone have a part number I can link to or look up?
Use a speed wrinch
You think the manufacturer would make it a little bit easier you get to a safety device why so much money they seem to all fail and we put up with it it just angers me it should be a lot easier I wonder if you should unhook the battery when you're working with the airbags
i like how the dog licked the module, he new hwat was up!
Would you know what to look at for a B0041 code on a GM (Saturn)
Thanks. Saved me a lot of $
Whats the part number?
The sensor caused you problems with the buttons on the steering wheel
thank you so much
So, I went over mine, and it seems they both have a bulge to them? On the left side however, the bolt does have some surface rust. So could the left one be faulty? From moisture? Any thoughts?
I wish you would have named the part because your link no konger works
Thanks
Thanks homie
I have a Chevrolet Silverado 2011
Check out your seat sensor connectors very carefully. I knocked mine off vacuuming between the seats and broke the retainer tit off on my 07 Avalanche
Plug in an OBD and see what code pops up and go from there
I will try
Re post the link to the airbag sensor. It no longer works.
Thanks bunch for the video However the link is no longer good. Tiako the amazon dog told me it was a dead link...
BUT you had 2 sensors there , how do you know which one is broke and which one isn't??
You know by paying attention to the video.
A
Pro tip 🤣
...and thats my Dog. Ha
amazon doesn't sell these anymore .... bullshit
they come and go. Keep looking. they didn't sell them the 1st time I was looking but I checked back a couple weeks later and they were on sale again. Price point should be around $68
Lmao. ALL your lights are on why does it matter if airbag one is on too. Lmao. I have lights on and I really don’t care as long as it does not effect my truck driving the lights can stay on.

Nitpick but these are called impact sensors, not air bag sensors.
Pro tip : Don’t offer a Pro tip unless your a PRO!
thank you so much
