It’s that time of year again – your car is due for its emissions test. However, if you have an airbag light on, your car won’t pass the emissions test. In this article, we’ll tell you exactly what to do to fix the problem and get your car past the emissions test with an airbag light on.
What is the airbag light and why is it on?
If you’re driving a car with an airbag, there’s a good chance the light on the dashboard is blinking. That may seem like a minor annoyance, but it can actually be a sign that your car may not pass emissions.
The airbag light is one of several warning lights that indicate different things about your car. For example, the airbag light may be blinking if there’s something wrong with your airbag sensor. If you have an active airbag system in your car, the light will also be on when the ignition is turned off and the car is in park.

How to fix the airbag light
If your car has an airbag light on, there are a few things you can do to fix the issue. First, make sure you have the correct airbag module and wiring in your car. If you don’t have the correct part, your car will not be able to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash. Next, make sure that all of your airbag switches are turned off and that your car’s computer is up-to-date with all the latest emissions standards. Finally, if you still have the airbag light on, try disconnecting and reconnecting your airbag module’s wiring.
Conclusion
If your car has an airbag light on, it means that the car’s computer is detecting an airbag deployment.
