| Description of the problem | Airbag light remained on took it to the dealer 2 years ago (estimate), they reset the sensor and fiddled with the cable under the seat. In august of 2011 the light came back on and remained on. Took it it the dealer who scanned the codes which read "b1701" and "b1706" airbag resistance too high from the seat buckles. The dealer replaced the driver and passenger buckle at my cost. Mileage 62,966 there seems to be a high incidence of this occurring and should be investigated. See also: http://www. Aboutautomobile.
