Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Spark owners report experiencing issues with the airbag light remaining on, which could indicate a potential problem with the airbag system that requires attention. This light may illuminate due to various reasons, such as a faulty sensor or a malfunction within the airbag system. Additionally, if the airbag system fails to receive a response from one of the airbags during diagnostics, the light will stay on until the issue is resolved and the system is reset. Some owners have noted that General Motors has issued recalls related to airbag systems in the Chevrolet Spark, particularly concerning the Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM) potentially remaining in "manufacturing mode," which could affect airbag deployment. However, it is important to note that the airbag light may not always indicate a malfunction, as there are instances where it may not accurately reflect a problem. For those concerned about potential recalls, it is recommended that owners check their VIN and contact a Chevrolet dealer for assistance. It is advisable for owners experiencing this issue to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified technician to ensure the airbag system is functioning properly.
