Tip & How-To about 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

2005 Tahoe airbag dash indicator lighted

When the airbag dash indicator is lighted there is a problem with the airbag system and it is inoperative until repaired. There can be other problems but the front impact sensors typically fail and can be easily replaced. Go to O'Reilly auto parts store for free diagnosis. For the 2005-2006 Tahoe, code B0100 is driver side impact sensor and B0103 is passenger side. You can purchase there for $90.00 or save $30.00 by ordering from Amazon or eBay, just make sure to get Dorman part 590-200. To install: use an 8mm box wrench to pull the battery negative cable, turn the headlight switch on, and for good measure wait 30 minutes, just to make sure the airbag controller is dead. Go under front of vehicle and use a 15 mm socket to remove the 4 bolts for the plastic skid plate. Locate the sensor on either side at bumper level and use a 10mm box wrench to loosen the single bolt on the sensor. Once the sensor is loose pull the orange plastic lock out of the connector clip, then pry/pull the connector out of the sensor. Install in reverse order. Once finished stand to side of steering wheel and turn ignition key on. Airbag light will flash then clear. Youtube has video to make it even easier. Older and newer Tahoes may have different sensor codes and part numbers so verify for your model.

The switch to the passenger side airbag is in the off position. Should the airbag light on the dash remain on until the switch is placed in Auto?

No, the light is indicating a fault in the airbag system. By chance is someone riding in the seat with the airbag switch switched off?

Flashing Airbag Light Prior to Startup

On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident.
The flashing light on your car is telling the answer you need. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing.
