Anybody know anything about an Air Bag (SRS) system on a Chevy Truck?

Anyways I am thinking that the selector switch for the passenger side has a burnt out bulb and this is causing my problem. I don't have a scan tool the check if there is any codes but here is what I am thinking.

This is the thingy I think has a Burnt out light



The air bag problem light stays on when the switch is turned to off. If I am reading this right it looks like it senses the light and if the light was bad (open) the signal would not get through. does this sound right to anybody?

Here's the schematic of the switch



Looks like the power goes in "B" and comes out on "E" when the switch is in the off position and "A10" is the controler.

So if the light is on when the switch is turned off, how could it be burnt out?


IIRC, when the switch is turned to off, the light SHOULD be on to remind you that the air bag is turned off.

No light means the air bag is armed.

There are 3 lights... 1 is "ON" the other is "off" and the 3rd is wires to the dash lights...


When the switch is "OFF" there should be a light that goes on that says "OFF". I think the "OFF" light is burnt out. If this is the case will the BCM see that the light is burnt ot and the light the "MALFUNCTION" light

The switch module is sealed so I can't test the light or replace it for that madder

It's been too long since I looked at a schematic. I'm gonna go with this:

If you can wait till this weekend I'll scan it for you.


most airbag problems are a result of a clock spring malfunction.
