Scott K Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Was it a code reader, or a scan tool, most code readers will not pull airbag codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I would guess it was a code reader as well. Most basic code readers are set up to read generic OBDII codes. OBDII (On Board Diagnostics) is specifically for engine management/emissions. Higher end code readers may give you some factory specific information if you are able to enter the vehicle information.The rest of the possible 6+ computers/modules/control units or whatever you would like to call them, require a higher end scan tool to access there codes and information. Even then you can be limited to what the manufacturer of the vehicle has allowed the maker of the scan tool to access information wise. There have been plenty of times that I know I there should be a piece of information but non of our scan tools have access to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNmikew Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Not sure, it was a buddys. Probably a code reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I had a similar thing on mid 90's Chevy pick up a while back. I took it to the dealer, he told me that a module was out in my airbag system, and that the airbags would not deploy, even in an accident.I guess what I am saying is I don't think the airbags will go off while you are driving.

Jeremy airjer W Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It can go either way. It is more likely that they will not work if needed but there is always the possibility them deploying when not needed. Find out why the light is on and go from there.
