HI,

I have a 2009 Caravan. I purchased it last week used. There are few things that need fixing. Not that many. Recently an airbag light has appeared. I searched this forum as well as the web and found no definitive answer. Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Kevin

 

You'll have a path to follow if you get the SRS/airbag system codes read. It should tell which of the 8 or so components have a problem or at least the portion of the circuit that's involved. Most parts stores will read powertrain codes for you but usually don't have scanners capable of reading these codes. A well equipped shop or the dealer will. You could always buy one for $100+.

 

You need to get the code read. Usually only a dealer can do this, unless, like stated, you buy one for yourself. It is different from a normal OBD code reader. very expensive.

 

Ok,

I also need to get an extra key or two. I think a dealer has to program the key as well. I see the keys online for sale. It might be cheaper online than at a dealer. Can I buy it online then have a dealer program it?

Thanks

 

Yes you can buy online and have the dealer cut and program it.

 

Thanks

 

You can also program the key yourself IF you have two working copies. I can't remember the exact procedure, but it's listed somewhere on this forum.

 

I heard that too. Thanks
