ammcinnis Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Which "air bag indicator light"? If you mean the indicator in the overhead console, that may be normal operation. The passenger-side front airbag is enabled only when sensors detect substantial weight in the right front seat, and the light in the overhead console reflects its status. The purpose of this arrangement is to disable the airbag whenever: 1) the seat is unoccupied, or 2) the seat is occupied by a small child who might be injured by its deployment. Unfortunately, placing even moderately heavy articles in the right seat can also enable the airbag. See your Owners Manual, Chapter 1, for more information.

ammcinnis Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 In that case, the next step is to use a scan tool to check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). According to the Subaru Factory Service Manual, there are more that 120 different DTCs unique to the airbag system. Checking the DTCs should allow you to significantly narrow your diagnostic search. Since the airbags are part of a critical safety system, perhaps this diagnosis and repair is best left to a (competent) Subaru dealer.

Mr Gone Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 I had My Subaru App activated at time of purchase. It also stores service history as well as sending fault/ failure notices by email. You can check app on phone for car status Locks doors also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
