Airbag light on cold morning starts

Hello all,

I've had my airbags replaced by recall last year.

This winter, when I start the car on cold mornings (-10C) I occasionally get the red airbag warning light. If I drive the car for about half an hour and restart the car, it goes away.

Anyone else get this? Anyone have it checked out?

If I set my heavy briefcase in the passenger seat and not snap the seat belt and then start driving. Doesn't matter what the weather is morning or night.

You need to find out what fault code(s) have been detected first.

Airbags can be scary and I would get that problem resolved ASAP.

Last thing you need is a broken nose from unintended deployment. Or the staggering cost of replacing a bunch of airbags that unintendedly deployed.
