Default This may not help, but if your CE light malfunctions, the airbag light will......

stay on for about 3 minutes after starting the car. Not exactly the same symptoms but I tried to help anyway.

Default thanks...

i'm gonna take my car in during winter break when i know the light will come on. the problem is the car HAS to be cold for it to happen. it never happens in the summer. im hoping it is just a loose connection or jsut the cold playing a trick on it

Default something else to keep in mind

if the airbag light is on then the airbag system is disabled. Mine stayed on when my audio insaller took out the front seat with the ignition on. I was told that my airbags would not deploy until the light was cleared. so be careful for thoose first few miles on cold mornings!
