Airbag symbol always on

[LarsenGrind]

Hi Guys

I have an export '17 GT, with the 18+ digital cluster. The airbag symbol is always on. Any idea on why this could be? I did put in a new steering wheel, back when I had the old cluster in. Don't remember the symbol being on there. This is the only thing I have touched on the airbag system
I have two childseats in the rear seats. Could it be related to a sensor not registrating weight properly? A faulty fuse? Any thoughts?

rear seats don't have any sensors. Only the driver and passenger seat does. Did you put in the steering wheel airbag module correctly while replacing the steering wheel? Also is the Digital dash programmed for your car or did you get it from a wrecked car? Its basically a computer so it may have the airbag light stored in it from the earlier car.

Okay, good to know about the rear seats.
Will pull the steering wheel airbag module tomorrow and install again, to make sure thats not the problem.
The cluster was bought as a new set, but they send me the wrong one (US model with MPH, instead of the correct with KPH). And it had some minor scratches on the screen. Only visible in direct sunlight. I've got the correct one, and this one came with the screen 'glas', covered in blue film. So yeah, the first one, might have been used before, but I dont know?
If it's not the airbag module, and it's connected properly, can ForScan tell me what might be the problem?

Yes, FORScan should give you the code, and hopefully the detailed description as well. Not sure if there's a specific code for each airbag, and each pretensioner. I guess we'll find out with your case . With so many airbags, the latest being between the front seats, hopefully new codes were assigned. We'll see. Good luck.

Hit up this thread - it has TONS of info about the digital cluster, the swaps and steering wheel - plus coding issues/fixes. The OP of the first post in the thread is very good with helping out folks, so maybe post your same content in that thread:

The steering wheel clockspring if damaged, or if a connector is not secure can fire off the airbag light too.
