Airbag codes

[Peeledpeas]

I have a airbag light on and scanned the codes, got a B0104 the first time. Looked it up and it indicated something with the right side crash sensor, so for troubleshooting purposes, I swapped the sensors side to side. The code changed to a B0103, so I thought that must be the code for the left side sensor, but apparently not. Everything I can find on it still indicates the right side sensor. Can't figure out what the difference is between the two codes.

Was the battery disconnected while you swapped the sensors? Have you tried clearing the code?

I did disconnect the battery and I have no option for clearing the code on my scanner.

B0104 Chevrolet Code - Passenger-Side EFS Not Okay Message​

B0103 Chevrolet Code - Passenger-Side EFS Valid Identification Not Received

If there is a yellow wire/connector under the passenger side front seat, look there for a connection/wiring problem. I have had air bag codes/lights on two different vehicles I have worked on and both fixes were as easy as unplugging the connector and plugging them back in. The friction cleaned the connection problems. If you have items under the front seats, trash, whatever and move the seats back and forth, that messes with connectors and wiring.

Oh, ok. There seems to be a lot of wrong information out there on the code definitions. I'll try that, thanks.

I got the time to mess around and found a yellow plug under each front seat. Disconnected battery and unplugged each of them and sprayed QD Electronics cleaner on both. Didn't fix anything. Any thing else I can try?

Did you inspect all the wiring from the connectors? debris gets under there and can damage the wiring itself.

I'll have to get under there better. Maybe just pull the seat out completely.

Welcome to the forum.

Hopefully a mod can move this.

You need to start your own thread. You may have a failing/failed wheel speed sensor or wiring damage to them.

I change the whole steering wheel collar

Do you think it could be the wheel sensors

You should start your own thread in the correct year section.

This may or may not apply to your vehicle. I am not sure of the model or year of manufacture. Anyway disconnect the negative battery cable always when servicing this system. Has the vehicle had air bag deployed, ever? Is air bag disabled for passenger seat? Is the seat belt electrical connections and latch/lock damaged or disconnected? Does the airbag light flash for seven times each event of the ignition key rotated to run position? A scanner that can read the system may be required to correct the problem and clear codes. Any after market devices or repairs may cause uneplainable codes and malfunctions.
