Problem overview

Some Jeep Cherokee owners report experiencing intermittent activation of the airbag system light, which may indicate various underlying issues. These can include a faulty sensor that triggers the light, loose or corroded connections within the airbag system, or a defective airbag control module. Additionally, problems with the airbag wiring harness, including connections and power supply, can disable the airbags and lead to warning lights. Some owners also note that an unavailable relay issue, which affects both the airbags and HVAC fan, can cause the airbag light to illuminate intermittently. It is crucial for owners facing these issues to address them promptly to ensure the proper functioning of the airbag system and the overall safety of the vehicle.
