Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

SOURCE: The dashboard air bag light and brake lights

hi from uk your brakelights problem may well be the brake lights switch is not being pushed off by pedal when released look where the b/pedal pivots under dash you will see the switch it has two wire plug attached? pull off plug brakelights will go off now the switch needs to be screwed clockwise a couple of turns so it contact b/pedal and the plunger is pushed in fully inside switch refit plug/wires then press pedal down slowly approx 3/4'' the light will come on and go off when pedal released the air bag light may also go off ?? however if not ? check underneath front seats you will see wires with plug connections under each seat these are what operates the pre tensioners on seatbelts in event of impact/accident ? unplug then reconnect plugs then check if light goes off also ensure rear seat backrests are fully locked in position these seats with constant adjusting sometimes cause light to come on ? hope this helps ?

Airbag dashboard light keeps blinking. In 1997 Ford Thunderbird.

The air bag computer will have to be scanned and the code read to know what the fault the computer detects. The problem will have to be repaired for the light to shut off. Keep in mind, when the air bag light is illuminated the air bag system is deactivated. Meaning, in the event of a collision the bags won't deploy.

Air Bag Light, Brake Light, & ABS Light came on in the dashboard.

Check and see if your alternator is charging
Low voltage will cause those lights to come on, as the computer is shutting down.

To check your alternator you will need a volt meter... WITH the engine running you should have about 14 volts coming out. IF NOT you need to replace the Alternator!

Brake light on dashboard

Several reasons, from minor to serious. It could indicate a brake problem that could result in a loss of braking eventually, so you should have it checked asap. Do the obvious, check your fluid level, and are there any issues with the brakes? Spongy pedal, trouble stopping quickly, brake pedal going to the floor? Your emergency brake being on just slightly can cause the light to stay on, but u say it's flashing, so that's probably not it. If u have any other info (symptoms) let me know now, don't wait! countrycurt0

Changing emergency flasher switch

Disconnect the battery for 1 hour before you start and the air bag will be safe, be very careful when removing it, they are still an explosive device.
