Insignia Airbag Warning Light

No accidents, thankfully! I don’t own a scanner myself. If the scanner reads the code, does that mean I can just replace the crash sensor myself? How much does that cost?

While the OBD2 scanner might point you to the defective component, you can't be 100% sure. Faulty wiring and defective plug connections can cause the exact same error code. I'd still recommend a workshop, as this is car safety. They should be able to pinpoint it quickly. It's probably a cable or plug.

Thanks! Took your advice and went to the local garage and you were spot on. It was just a faulty plug under the passenger seat. They charged me 95€ to fix it. I am glad this airbag repair did not cost an arm and a leg!

That airbag light is not something to ignore. Definitely a vehicle safety concern. Have you had any accidents recently, even a minor fender-bender? Sometimes that can trigger the light, even if the damage seems insignificant. Also, do you know anyone with an OBD2 scanner? It might pull a code that points to the exact problem.
