In my 02 sonata the airbag light stays on continuously after the car is started. I assume it does its self test because for a second the light goes off when I start the car but afterwards remains on until I shut the car off. Should I be worried about it? I thought maybe a wire or something was faulty.

I have an 02 sonata with the same problem. Did you get your issue resolved? I talked to one guy who said 9 times out of 10 it's corrected by reseating the pins under the seats. I tried that, but the light is still on. I have an appointment to have it checked out on Monday. Let me know if your problem was resolved and I'll try to remember to post an update after I find out on Monday.

I have the same problem. I had a Tech look at it an dit pulled a code of B1378. He said it was either the side airbag on the drivers side or the Control Module. I am doing a few checks myself he showed me how to do to see which one it is. Do any of you have a plug hanging under your drivers seat that is not hooked up? It has a blaco connector and 2 wires coming from it (one Black and one Red)?
