Airbag warning light remained on

[Morty E]

I have a 2 week old model 3. This morning when starting to drive, I heard a noise I have not heard before and then I noticed the airbag warning light stayed on. I booked a service app’t right away. Driving later in the day, it no longer is on. Anyone else experience this? Should I cancel the service appointment?

Ask your advisor at SC. You can do this via your Tesla app.

I personally would keep the service appointment, and make sure I had the time and date noted that the light stayed on so they could look in the logs if so desired. It may be nothing, but airbags is one of those systems I would want confirmation on, if something strange happened.

Well, the airbag warning symbol is back, so I am definitely keeping the booked service appointment. Thanks

I have the same problem. Mine has come on at least 8 times so far. The next time you drive it is off for maybe 4 to 7 days and then it will come back on. Service tried to remotely troubleshoot but could not so I took it in last Sunday. They checked all the connections and could not find anything wrong. They said that there is a bulletin that says it is a known item and they are trying to fix it via firmware. Mine did not come on again for 1 week. Just came on today. Mine is one month old today.

Spoke to a service rep. He suggested cancelling the service appointment, as this is a known issue - a software glitch - not a problem with the airbags. Says an update is coming. If it is strictly a software issue, how come it is not more widespread?

Mine was fine for 7 days since I took it in for Service. Now it has done it yesterday and today. It is very strange.

I have had it as well. 2 week old M3P. I scheduled service and they got back to me stating it’s a known firmware bug and that SRS is still active and fully functional.

Ok, at least they are consistent.

Same here. 1 month old 3P. Had the airbag warning come on 3 times but would go away after exiting the car.

Any updates? I have the same issue and a service apt next week. Airbag light has been on for about a week now.

Mine has the same issue from delivery. Took it in for servicing and they said it needs a new "airbag restraint module" but the part is not available with no ETA. So my car's just stuck at the shop. I'm quite surprised given how close I'm located to Fremont.

My 2022 M3LR (delivered August 2022) airbag warning light has been constantly on since Nov. 23rd. When it first came on, a bunch of other things went wonky (airbag, traction & stability control disabled, regen brakes disabled). Everything else self-corrected, except for the airbag light. It's been with Tesla service for 2-days now.. they can't figure it out.

I had the same issue off the lot with the airbag indicator. The issue was that there was a problem with a part for sensing electronics (can’t find the old service doc in the app anymore). It took them 2.5-3 weeks because thay couldn’t get a new part even though I’m in the Bay. Luckily they gave me a loaner car.
