2008 Chevy Avalanche Airbag Error Light. Works for Tahoes and Escalades too

- In this video I fix the Airbag Error light that was on on my dashboard. It turned on out of the blue and stayed on for about two weeks. In this video I take apart all of the connectors in the airbag circuit and put dielectric grease on the pins.

Your video reminded me to do the basics first when diagnosing. I checked the under-hood fuse and it was blown. The light's been on since a battery replacement six months ago. Replaced the fuse and she's all good now. Thanks!
Check your airbag impact sensors. There are two of them and they are mounted to a cross bar behind your front bumper cover. The easiest way to get to them is to remove the black plastic cover under the front of your vehicle. At first glance, it may resemble a skid plate and is held in place with four bolts. Once that's out of the way, you can reach up and feel the sensors. They are small black devices about an inch and a half square and about an inch thick with a set of wires from a small harness and plug. They are each held in place with a 10mm bolt. Feel them, you are looking for a bulge. If one or both show signs of a bulge, replace it or them. Rock Auto has them for about $25 each. The bulge is caused by water seeping in and freezing, damaging the sensor from the inside. Disconnect your battery when working on them, you don't want to accidentally set off your air bags.
Thank you that was very helpful
They are 200$ on rock auto
I had the same problem in the same spot on a 2009 Chevy Avalanche. I first checked the fuses 40 and 45 then went to the connector located on the driver side front left panel. I just disconnected and reconnected several times to help clean the terminals and then started the truck. Yes, your solution worked really well. Thank you!
I was having the same problem with my 2013 Tahoe, And I wasn't able to pull a code But your video came up in my Yahoo suggestions based off of my last searches. I did exactly what you did and it fixed it Thanks a million dude
Oh yeah? Awesome. I'm glad to hear it helped.
Hi looked up your video
Regarding checking the airbags connectors for the airbags light and service airbag,
I was hoping to be lucky enough to have the same problem fixed,
But to my luck I’m still getting the message,
The code that I’m getting is B0083-3A and B0084-3A
And I researched the codes,
It’s the Front Impact Sensors,
In witch I replaced them Both, But kept giving me the same message,
So like I said I ran into your Video on RUclips hoping that it would solve the issue,
But I’m not that lucky,, Lol,
Any suggestions would be Appreciated!
Thanks
Danny
Oh forget to mention it’s for a 2008 Chevy suburban Z71
Thanks Raul I don't have a scan tool but followed your suggestion and listen to the comments. Fixed my fixed my Silverado air bag issue with no experience
The plug may be loose in the back seat just fixed mine yesterday and that was the problem. My light is off. Just a loose connection. I did everything he did and it didn’t work until I went to the back seat on both sides and they were both loose so try that and let me know if that helped with your situation.
Really helpful video. Can I ask what manual you have that you are using for reference? Thanks!
Good job bro my light is on too I’ve got to check those fuses
Really good video. Could have planned it out a bit more but you took the time to step through it and show us the process of light, book, actual connectors. Well done.
I HAVE A 2008 VALANCHE FLEX FUEL AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON , I tried you solution whats next mine did not turn off?
Nice demonstration bro, I have 08 Avalanche and I'm currently facing the same issue , tried your method and unfortunately it didn't turn the light off.
Is there any other connectors that I have to hunt down apart from the one you showed here? Would appreciate your help
Thanks man it works for me
Same problem in my silverado 2008, The wires caused you problems with the buttons on the steering wheel and horn
I got an 08 suburban and I got the light and a service airbag massage
Do I need a special scanner to scan for airbag codes?
Yes only certain scanners will read the SRS codes and they are typically not the cheap ones. I just ordered a Innova 5160 it has all the features that i wanted SRS / ABS brake bleed / etec etc and including reading my hybrid battery cell voltages. About 250 bones though! Just tired of not being able to diagnose silly little problems like an airbag light and not being able to bleed the ABS system.
Great job ,
I have the same light in my sierra 2011 , it was fine until i sent it to clean the whole interior part . After that it doesn’t stop showing ,
Yeah - Die Electric Grease does NOT FIX High resistance in wiring connections, it CREATES high resistance. Stabilant 22 is used to correct high resistance, NOT Dieelectric Grease ! That's why your buddy USED TO work for GM !
Was you light up top on as well when someone sits in the seat
❤ok
Would this fix a low voltage error When trying to reprogram the SDM
Did (service airbag) show up on dash??
Just out of curiosity would a airbag light being on cause cruise control to not actuate
My issue with cruise control was the brake control switch, try tapping you’re brakes a bit then hit cruise if this works that is you’re issue
Pero que paso con los fusibles???
¡👍🏼That’s a real good information ℹ️👨🏻🔧 I going to try it on my new 2009 2.5LT Silverado.....
But I’m having trouble with my turn signals blinking so fast and now break and left turn signal not workin, any ideas or can you share the wiring diagramI I will appreciate any suggestions thank you have a nice day!!!!!
I don't have the books anymore. Sorry man.
@@raulsd.i.y.videos5585 No problem 👌🏼Thank you for the update👍🏼.
Did you replace the fuses or just removed them ? Because I didn't see you putting them back
Just removed them temporarily. I did not replace them.
@@raulsd.i.y.videos5585How did the airbag system work without the fuses not being reinstalled ? that makes no sense . unless i missed something Ive got this same problem with my 2007 avalanche at the moment .
2011 suburban no communication with airbag module is my issue
what does the grease did ? what is the secret
I had a airbag recall on our Tahoe recently and we got the recall worked on. Now our service airbag light is on and won’t go off. The dealership said I need to replace the fuses. I found your video and followed step by step besides putting the grease on the yellow adaptor and my service airbag light still won’t go off 😭 any advice on what to do now ???
you could try the connector between the console and drivers seat near the floor. Mine was loose. Worked for many months now as soon as I pulled in the garage the light is on again. son of a biscuit. Will have to check fuses and try dielectric grease removing the yellow plug as the video explains. Hope it works. I hate these new vehicles and unnecessary computer junk and lights. the seat belts work fine. I wish I could disconnect the airbag and lights. The TMPS was driving me crazy had to buy a box to trick the computer to keep light off. Honestly all these lights and sensors are nothing more than hassles and money wasters.
I had an airbag recall on my 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche and after they replaced the airbag, the service airbag light came on. Took it back to the dealer that worked on it and they told me the light was already on. They wouldn't even help me at all. Just lied and said I was sol.
Did you figure out what yours was? I know it's been 2 years but hey, it's RUclips.
Air bag light on a 2012 chevy suburban 1500 LT. giving code B0079. does that mean i need to change the driver side seat position switch??
Check with wires on the connector. These often get damaged and pulled from the plug itself. The plug and sensor are on the seat rail next to the console. It's usually easy to repair this with no parts needing replaced.
Airbag fuse. Check it. Fix my problem
Pretty helpfull thanks
My 15 amp fuse keeps blowing now I'm chasing a bad ground somewhere
Nice work dude 🤙
Thanks. Hope it helped.
Hi I love your video , I’m getting a B0012 code 07 nnbs Silverado what does your book say it could possibly be it does go off sometimes but soon as I turn the steering wheel a bit it comes back on and stays on

9:56
Can u help with B0012 for 2008 Silverado
Would it work on an avalanche 06 ?
It should, I am about to do it to mine. As my airbag light goes away if I giggle that connector.
Did it have a code?
No code. Just the light on the dashboard.
Didn't work for me 😵💫😵 I wasn't that lucky 😒
Great video tho👍🏾👍🏾
Please what is name the book you read
It is the set of dealer books. It's a 7 book volume. Cost me $300. I'll look up the name
It's the GM Service Manual.
Didn't work on mine
Didn't work on my truck
