Airbag light stays on?

No, this system is very complex and you looking at the components can set off an air bag.

You need to have the code pulled, repairs made and then the light will re set itself.

DTC B0092 Set (Repair Passenger Presence System (PPS) Sensor Harness)

Subject: Air Bag Lamp On, Passenger Air Bag Indicator Always Reads OFF, DTC B0092 Set (Repair Passenger Presence System (PPS) Sensor Harness)

Condition:
Some customers may comment that the Air Bag Lamp is on and the Passenger Air Bag indicator always reads OFF. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC B0092 set.

Cause:
The cause of this condition may be a shorted Passenger Presence System (PPS) sensor wire. The PPS sensor harness is located under the front passenger seat. This harness may be pinched between the seat frame and the track/riser.

Correction:

Locate the PPS sensor (1) and inspect the harness for proper routing. If the harness is pinched between the seat frame and the track/riser, use the procedure listed below to repair wire(s).

Move the front passenger seat to the full rearward and full tilt up position.
Loosen the seat frame to track/riser nut and remove the harness.
Tighten the seat frame to track/riser nut.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

This problem has to do with the airbag module having a problem. Many of our members have replaced the sensor but it made no difference.

Here is a video to help

Here is its location (below).

PS. they get damaged when they get wet. :)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Have to love the goodies that are put into a vehicle to make it safer. Just really expensive. I cannot knock ABS too much as it saved my life once.

Anyways you are going to need a capable scanner for both issues more than likely.

On the Chevrolet, you need to see if any air bag codes are present then we can go further with that. When the ignition is turned on, the airbag system goes through a diagnostic check, so that may be normal. But check for codes and that will tell where we need to go.

On the Ford. Again the ABS system must be checked for codes. Depending on that, you may need to drive it with the scanner hooked up and watch to see the wheel speeds for when the problem happens. A snapshot of the data can be taken at that point to make it easier to see if a wheel rpm is not being reported accurately.
Fair chance of a bad abs sensor.

Do a continuity test down the yellow wire, have it unplugged and battery disconnected, let the car sit for a few min so the capacitor can discharge. Do not apply any voltage, just do a continuity test to look for a broken wire or faulty soldered joint at a socket pin.

You could choose to remove the negative battery cable for 10 minutes and hope it goes off, if not take it in. I dont want you messing aroudn with it and having it go off in your face.

You figured it out already. It's a common problem. Be sure the tires are perfectly straight ahead when you install the new clock spring. It will come locked in the centered position and will have tape through the center so it can't be turned even if you press the buttons that the steering wheel is supposed to when it's installed.

Yep, the wires will need to be repaired. Here are the wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which wires go where in case you need it. This guide may help as well

Once the wiring is fixed, please post the airbag system trouble codes. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
