What does the red man sitting with airbag between his legs on dashboard mean it is lit up all the time?

Question

fiat marea 1 .6 estate weekend

Answer 1

i think it means your air bag is deactivated

Answer 2

Either the Seatbelt light, or it's the light letting you know whether or not your airbag is engaged or not.

Answer 3

It means there's an accident waiting to happen in your crotch area!

Answer 4

Sounds like the seat belt warning light to me.

Answer 5

Are you sure it's an airbag?

Answer 6

Your airbag system has malfunctioned and may not deploy with a serious impact. It should be inspected by your local dealer immediately and replaced or fixed.

Answer 7

On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly.  If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously.  If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system.  When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident.   Most systems can only be diagnosed using a scanner designed for the airbag system, however some use flash codes to indicate the problem.  The scanners at Auto Zone or the ones that sell for @ $50 will not access the airbag system, only the engine systems (check engine light).  

This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting some systems without a scanner.  Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate that (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity,  Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool.  http://www.airbagsolutions.com/

Check out this scanner for AIRBAG>>>It’s the cheapest one I’ve found!

http://www.airbagsolutions.com/scanner.a...

updated snap-on MT2500 or a Mac Mentor will be able to get into your vehicle (as well as a Tech II at the dealer.) Once you spend $45-75 to get the diagnosis, you will have the answer you need to know how to proceed.  Sometimes it's under warranty, but sadly, sometimes it's quite costly, $200-700.  Good luck.  Check out this website for more info on airbag system. http://www.airbagsolutions.com (Resource page is good)

Either main airbag is faulty or passenger airbag has been turned off (eg: for kid seat).

It would have to do with something for the (SRS) system and you should get the vehicles computer scanned.

Fault with airbag system. Get dealer to plug in the diagnostics. If it does not work if you crash, then you may not have a second chance to get it repaired.
