Four problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was on the highway at cruising speed and I happened to look down and my dit says service air bags and shortly after onstar calls me asking if everything was alright. I did some research and got led in many different directions saying there was a recall for air bag sensors and also recall in the t connector in the ds kick panel.
Went to start my vehicle and it flashed service airbag. Took it to the gm dealer and they say its the left front impact sensor. I have heard that this is a common issue for these vehicles and think that this being a safety issue, should be covered by the manufacturer.
"service airbag" sensor light and "idiot" light came on and won't go off. I have been on a few forums about this and there are lots of people with this same problem. Many different ideas on what will fix the problem but gm should issue a recall and fix it for everyone.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche. The air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection, and the front crash sensor was repaired. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on a separate occasion for an identical failure. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. The failure mileage was 48,000. The current mileage was 56,000. Updated 1/14/10 updated 01/15/10.
