ALCON,
I got a "service air bag" warning tonight (spelled out on the DIC and the error light.) It went away after maybe 30 seconds and so far hasn't returned as of about 30 miles of continuous driving since. I've never seen that in her 90k miles.
In the interest of full disclosure, and it might be sheer coincidence, but about 1 hour/50 miles of continuous driving prior to the error there was a minor low-speed bump into a parking garage pole. It wasn't head on, it was next to the vehicle which contacted it with the fender when pulling out too sharply at maybe 5 mph. Small dent, more on that later in another thread. I have felt harder bumps when hitting potholes so I am hesitant to preach causality for an airbag issue.
Anyway, I would normally wait and see if it happens again to establish a trend before worrying about it, but airbag stuff is not something with which one should trifle so I thought I would ask now. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
LT
