2000 Chevy Cavalier
Engine size = 2200
Airbag Light On
Tip/donation = yes
tech = JK
question = How do i replace the airbag sensor?
JK:
Thank you for the tip/donation.
Are you referring to what is called the "front end discriminating sensor"
Or the airbag "sensing and diagnostic module"?
VISITOR:
airbag sensing and diagnostic module
I was told this because of the airbag light
is always on. The car hit a truck head-on and
the airbags deployed. All repairs were completed.
JK:
The SDM is located under the carpet, under the pass. seat. The seat will have to
be removed. Then replace the module after key off, and fuse(s) removed. The
module will only bolt in 1 way. Arrow on module points to the front of the car.
After that you will have to perform a setup procedure on the module and the body
control module(BCM) with a dealer scan tool. If the setup procedures are not
performed, you will have an airbag light on, and codes in the BCM.

Problem with my 2004 Chevy Cavalier LS
Engine size = V4
dash lights = service w/ wrench, ABS, No Traction
work done prior = Brake pads replaced over a year ago
tech = kk
question = My service ABS and No TRAC lights are all coming on
intermittently, but at the same time. They go off when I turn off the car and
restart it. They come on when I am in the middle of driving or
sometimes when I put it into reverse and back in to drive. There is also a
noise when I make left hand turns.
KK:
The light with the wrench is the "Service Vehicle" light. These lights are most likely all
related. Sounds as if you have a problem in the ABS system. A problem in the ABS
will cause the ABS light to come on, traction control system will be disabled, and the
service vehicle light will come on. The ABS computer will have to scanned for codes.
By what you describe, most likely have a front wheel speed sensor problem, or the
harness going to one of the front speed sensors has a broken wire inside the
insulation, or full of water.
