The contact owns a 1996 mazda miata. The contact stated that the air bag warning lights was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed but not yet repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Air bag comes on and stays on after starting vehicle. Diagnostic code indicates srs module is at fault or could be electrical connection per dealer. Dealer indicated srs module is not available even if it is determined as the failure after removing dash to access module. Vehicle only has 64, 000 miles. Vehicle will not pass safety inspection in some states which makes a mint car worthless and unsafe to drive.
When engine is started, air bag light comes on and stays on
Takata recall.air bag light comes on continuously after turning engine on, never goes off. I bought the car new, and took it back to the dealer. Dealer said that it was not covered on any recalls.i was informed that there was a recall on the late 1995 models, but not the early 1996 ones. I was also informed that it would cost me $900 to $1000 to fix.at that time, it had to remain unfixed, and the light has been on continuously since.i am still apprehensive when i turn the key and drive it.
When i start my car, all the indicator lights come on briefly and then go out - brakes, abs, seat belt, oil, etc.the air bag light also comes on, as it should.but then it stays on and does not go out.my mechanic told me that the problem was due to a faulty air bag control module, which needed to be replaced.but they then told me that mazda no longer makes this part and that it is not available.they also said that the air bag would not deploy unless the module is replaced and that it would not pass inspection in virginia.
Sitting in driver side or car while vehicle was idling while in driveway. Airbag deployed.
