Airbag light codes - how to obtain
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2026 6:01 am
I've had issues with my airbag light being on in my 2004 vibe, and I finally got around to buying/replacing a clock spring. The light didn't go out even with the battery disconnected for a few hours. I've heard of "latching" faults that don't disappear without special scanners to manually clear them. I do have a OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth device but the software that comes with it doesn't show any codes to clear, but the airbag light is still on. How do I obtain the codes? Is there a different software I need to use (I know for my Jeep, I needed AlfaOBD, but that doesn't have an option for Pontiac/Toyota cars).
Is there software that anyone would recommend (PC or phone/android) that I should be using to read/clear airbag codes on a vibe? Or some specific model of scanner that I should use? Or I saw mention of someone jumpering pins on the obd port and getting flashing lights, but there weren't enough details on how to perform that procedure in the post.
