Vehicle make/model = olds aurora
Year = 2001
Mileage = 71000
Engine size = 3.6
dash lights = airbag
codes = none
work done prior = I changed the air pump and cleared error code.
work done to repair = none
tech = kk
question = I just changed my air pump due to failure. Replaced with
newer version. Did not clear error code yet. Drove the next day for an
hour or so. Next day I borrowed my friends code analyzer to clear
error code and check. After clearing I started the car and the check
engine light did go out, but the airbag light came on and showed "air bag
problem" on DIC. Checked airbag fuse, beat on steering wheel and horn
with no luck. Could I have knocked something loose that could easily be
checked. Is there a way to disable to get rid of the chime and error
light without diagnosing the problem?

Hello and welcome.
Yes, it is possible that this repair caused the airbag light. On top of the front frame crossmember,
the front end impact sensor is bolted. More toward the center/passenger side. But the harness
does run along to the dr. side of the front frame, then up into to main harness. There are also a few
ground wires on the trans. bellhousing that can accidentally be broken when working in that area.
Without scanning for codes, cant be sure. There is no way to disable the airbag system and have
the light go out.
