elmwood22 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have a 2007 Subaru Outback and the airbag light has been coming on intermittently for the past 12-18months; Having visited with the local area service manager he said more than likely it is a error code as a result from an open circuit coming from the sensor on/near the roof. Can anyone shed light on this matter? And also, are others having this same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Have you taken it to the dealer for diagnosis? That's the only way to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've seen the issue once before and its a harness problem. Either replace the harness with a new one or find where the issue is and fix it. Or deal with it until you get rid of it IF you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's most likely an INTERMITTENT harness/connector problem, the very worst kind! Intermittent harness "opens" can be very difficult to find. My question: Is the air bag intermittently losing the ability to fire, or is it just a "reporting" problem? If you're actually intermittently losing the ability to fire, that is a much more serious situation. What matter which, a blinking air bag light is likely to affect the resale/trade-in vaue of this car. With a good set of electical schematics and a DVM, you might be able to track it down. There are very important safety precations to take before working on airbag circuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
