Tell me about my Airbag Failure Light is on assessment
What is an airbag warning light assessment?
The airbag warning light (sometimes shown as an SRS or Supplemental Restraint System light) indicates that there’s a fault in your vehicle’s airbag system. When this light stays on, it means one or more airbags may not deploy in an accident. An assessment diagnoses the fault and confirms the repairs needed to restore full safety function.
Why do you need an airbag light assessment?
The airbag system is a critical safety feature designed to protect you and your passengers in the event of a crash. If the warning light is on, the system may fail during an accident, leaving occupants at greater risk of injury. An assessment ensures the issue is properly identified and repaired to keep the system compliant with New Zealand WOF standards.
Common signs your airbag system needs checking
- Airbag or SRS warning light illuminated on the dashboard
- Warning light stays on after starting the vehicle
- Airbag system fault codes detected during diagnostics
- Recent accident, water damage, or seatbelt pretensioner issue
- Electrical faults such as damaged wiring or loose connectors
If your airbag light is on, it’s best to have it assessed straight away, as the system may not protect you in an emergency.
What happens during an airbag warning light assessment?
A mechanic will connect a diagnostic scanner to the vehicle’s ECU to identify stored airbag fault codes. The airbag modules, sensors, seatbelt pretensioners, and wiring are inspected for faults. Once the issue is confirmed, you’ll receive a clear explanation of what needs to be repaired or replaced to restore system safety.
How much does an airbag warning light assessment cost?
In New Zealand, an airbag light diagnostic assessment typically costs between $90 and $150. Repair costs vary depending on whether the fault is a simple wiring issue, a faulty sensor, or a full airbag module replacement. You’ll receive an upfront quote before any repairs are carried out.
Is it safe to drive with the airbag light on?
No. While your car will still drive, the airbags may not deploy in a crash if the warning light is on. This creates a serious safety risk and will likely cause your vehicle to fail its next WOF. For your safety and compliance, book an assessment immediately if the airbag light is illuminated.
