Automatic transmission cars are exempt from inspection with the airbag light on, but a recent change in New York State law means that all cars registered in the state must be inspected regardless of their type of transmission. What does this mean for you as a driver? It’s time to check your car’s registration and get ready for the new inspection requirements!
What is the Airbag Light and When does it Appear?
There are a few things you need to know about the Nys airbag light. The first is that it is a warning light that tells you that your car may not pass an inspection if there is an airbag in the vehicle. When this light comes on, it means that the airbag sensor in the car has detected a potential safety issue.
The second thing you need to know is that this light typically appears when there is something wrong with the airbag sensor. This can include a broken or missing wire, or debris that has gotten into the sensor. In most cases, fixing this will fix the airbag light and allow your car to pass an inspection. However, if the light keeps coming on even after you have fixed the sensor, then there may be another issue with your car and you will need to take it to a mechanic for repairs.

How to Fix an Airbag Light on a Car
If your car has an airbag light on, there’s a good chance it’s because the airbag sensor is defective. Here’s how to fix the problem:
If you have a car with an airbag light on, chances are the sensor is defective. The fix is easy – just replace the sensor! Here’s how:
1) Remove the front bumper cover by removing the screws at either end. There are usually two of them.
2) Once the cover is off, you’ll see the airbag sensor in the centre of the dashboard. It’s a small, round object with a wire coming out of it.
3) To replace the sensor, simply unscrew it from the dashboard and replace it with a new one. Make sure to screw it back into place correctly – otherwise your car will be unable to inflate its airbags!
Conclusion
It’s important to remember that a car will not pass an Nys inspection with an airbag light on. The inspection process is very specific, and unless there are major changes made to the car – such as the installation of a new airbag system – it cannot be approved. In order to pass an inspection, the car must meet all of the following requirements:
-The safety features must be in working order
-The tires must be at least 65 PSI
-There must be no major damage to the exterior or interior
