How do I turn off the airbag light on the dashboard of a 2004 Hyundai Elantra?

Question

I failed state inspection because the driver's airbag light stays on. I'm hoping it's not costly. (1) How do I turn it off? Is there a specific fuse I can take out or a technique I can do and (2) Will I pass my car inspection if I turn it off instead of having a mechanic do an air bag inspection and repair the problem?

Answer 1

Go to a shop and have it looked at. They have specialized computer equipment to diagnose those problems. I certainly wouldn't want to drive a car with an airbag light on - what if it fails in an accident? or worse, if it inflates while you are driving?

I would think that your life/well being is more important than saving a few dollars to have the car repaired....or I may be wrong...
