OBD2 with airbag reader

[Erni]

Seat sensor as in passenger not there? Yes. Did not check connector at kick panel. Steering wheel buttons work fine, so clock spring sb ok.
When I get some breathing space I will see if I can hit you guys up for a scan.

Jerry, you do a lot of gm airbags?

Not a bad idea to ALWAYS pull off a battery cable when messing with airbag stuff...and wait a few minutes as well.

Adding to this mix, seatbelt pre tensioners also tend to fail from time to time. That might also be a consideration in your situation.

The next time you are driving that vehicle, turn off the radio, roll up the windows and turn off the A/C or heater blower. Then listen closely to the center of the steering wheel as you are turning, if you hear some unusual sounds, especially in hard to the stop and back to center turns, it could be the clock spring.

I guess on an outside chance....did you have any steering gear work done before this problem showed itself?
