Have the computer scanned to identify where the problem is coming from.

The other day my airbag just started blinking and then it stayed on. When you start the car it blinks for a few mins then stays luminated. What can be the problem? Also my AC stopped cooling right at the same time, so can this be something due to the light? I didn't think that the two are related but just wanted to ask.

I don't believe the two are related. Have you had the computer scanned to identify why the light is on? Chances are there is a bad sensor.

As far as the AC, did you lose the cool air or the blower motor?

Wow, we are losing the issue here.

We need to get back to basics.

As all us guys have said, including me, we need the code. The code you gave us indicates a pretensioner issue. My own experience was chafing harness under the seat caused this code. It was a simple repair in my case.

AS Joe said, you need to have a qualified shop look at this. Messing with this system with no knowledge can cause the bag to deploy. Please do not touch this system unless you have training on it.

No, you cannot take it out of service.

We appreciate all the input on this issue, but let's try to stay on point.
