Air Bag Light

[NovaSayan]

My 2021 GT has had an issue for the past few months where some times an air bag warning would light up on the dash. Usually, when turning off the car for a while and entering it later, the air bag light wouldn’t show up again until maybe a few days later when I’d drive the car again. Today it happened again so I decided to do some investigating. Here are the Forscan codes it’s throwing at me. Thought I’d ask if this is familiar to anyone before calling up the dealer.

I have heard that air bag warranties last up to 60,000 miles / 5 years, not sure if that would cover this tho.

Disconnect the battery for 30 min. Then pop your air bag off and check the wire connectors. Make sure they are fully seated and the locking mechanisms are fully locked

Disconnected it overnight and took off the airbag this morning. Made sure to disconnect and reconnect all cables back into place. I even checked under the seat to make sure the airbag plug was clicked in. Connected the battery and unfortunately looks like the airbag light still pops up.

My guess is, based off what I’ve read, perhaps it could be the clock springs or the dome light area needing replacement.

But the strange thing is, I’m getting 4 codes, 2 for the drivers side and 2 for the passenger. And, my airbag warning seems to appear at random, sometimes it pops up, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t understand why
