# Why is my airbag light on, I wasn't in an accident?

If your vehicle was NOT in an accident and the light came on:

If the airbag light in your vehicle just turned on without an accident, there may be an issue with the airbag system computer, or there may be a bad component within the airbag system. If your vehicle has NOT been involved in an accident, we recommend taking your vehicle to a body shop or collision shop to have it scanned to see what codes are coming up. It could be a bad seat belt or sensor.

If you have a bad, damaged or deployed (locked) [seat belt,](https://www.myairbags.com/repair-seat-belt-pretensioner/) send it to us for repair.
