Airbag light won't turn off

[kebhen]

I do not know if the car was in an accident as it is new to me. I am not sure how to clear the codes. Is that when you take of the black cable from the battery for 15 minutes?

No unplugging the battery won't clear SRS DTC's. You clear them similarly to how you read them with the procedure in post #2 of this thread.

Also, I should have mentioned. It does not appear the car was in an accident as I checked it over. But, There is maybe the regulator in the alternator problem as well, the battery seems fine 13.6 car not started and like 15.5 or so when started. The alternator is a bit low pushing 13.6 instead of 14V which gives a trouble light every once in a while. The passenger side airbag indicator comes on when someone sits in the car etc.
Thanks for the reply - you seem like the sites godsend when it comes to trouble shooting..Thanks again.

That is how I read the codes. After I turned the car off. Waited 10minutes and then went for a drive and the light came back on. Should I read the codes again?

Ah, that link in post #2 wasn't the complete one. Below is the complete one with the second portion explaining how to clear the codes. The potential alternator issue would not cause these codes to be set.

I have to try this later as family duty prevails. I have to go to a dance recital for the young one. I will get back after this evening. Thanks for all so far.
