Hi:
Airbag light stays on my 1995 gmc 1500 Sierra.
Repaired loose ribbon in clock spring, light came off briefly but then came back on. Finally repaired, tests ok with ohm meter. Light still on. Checked sensors and they have an ohm reading, assuming they are ok.
Suggestions. Are there airbag codes that need to be cleared, if so how do you do it?

Normally if the airbag or SRS light are on then there is an issue with the system that needs to be repaired prior to the light or codes being cleared.

We need to check these codes which are not much different than any other code but here is a video that will help with this:

Once we know what codes are there, we will be able to figure out the issue with the system. However, to answer your question we will not be able to clear them if we have not repaired the issue.

So, let's start with what codes are there and then we can figure out the next steps.

Thanks
