2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD - Fixing Service Airbag Light
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video - I start to tackle another issue with my truck.
I had been getting a Service Airbag System warning light on the dash - as well as the Drivers Information Center.
I did some research - and it turns out that these trucks and the SUV's of the same era like to have front impact sensors that go bad.
The sensors like to corrode because they are under the truck in the harsh weather conditions.
To fix this error - you need to disconnect both batteries, drop the skid plate, and replace the Front Impact sensor.
The sensor was $65 on Amazon.
Parts Used:
Dorman Sensor # 590-204 amzn.to/2s1RAuE
Thanks everyone for all of your support!

Great video. I couldn't find the part on Amazon so I just went to RockAuto. I also had no clearance to get a ratchet and socket in there (05 Yukon Denali) so I used a ratcheting wrench and that did the trick. Thanks for the video!
You only need to watch between 4:30 to 6:30. The rest is a bunch of this guy rambling on.
Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel!
Hi Bud, I just noticed your LCD Radio Scream on your 2005 GMC was this an option for that Model Year? If so, I'm going to see if I can find one and put it into my 2005 Avalanche ... Oh I appreciate you taking the time to put this video together for others to change their impact sensors great Job!!!
The radio is out of an Escalade. I had to buy a new Bose Amp + the radio and it swapped in.
Here is that video: th-cam.com/video/55KvqncaDFs/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful! I appreciate you taking the time to put this video together for others to change their impact sensors. The price to have a dealership change them along with the "regular" price of impact sensors are ridiculous . Thank you!!!
I just started getting the same code for my Front End Sensor. I was thinking about testing it by smacking it with a hammer. If it works I guess I won't have to replace it....OH DANGIT!
Hit it with a huge hammer - LOL!
Great video step by step instructions showing the right way to do the sensor. Thanks a lot!
How do I know sensor it is because under my 2005 GMC Sierra there are two sensors on the left and right
Great Video. Thank you..!!
Fantastic video.
Great video. I have the same truck. So the dealership was going to chatge me 135.00 to diagnose this plus labor and part to repair the 'service airbag sysyem'. Thanks man!
Buying the sensor would be wayyy cheaper.
Thank for the video,I gotta do the same to my Buick Randevous pass side.
There is an identical looking sensor underneath the passenger seat. Could that be the culprit?
That might be it - but the bumper sensors are known to go bad.
Thank you AZ was quoting me $225 for a new sensor. They told me the dealer would have to reset the warning light. I bumped into a trailer hitch with my front bumper in a roundabout. That caused everything. '06 Sierra 1500 crew cab.
Glad the video helped you out!
Thank you. Very informative and sufficiently detailed.
Thanks again...
Thank you for posting, you’re absolute right!!! Dealership wanted$180 to scan and $372.00 for sensor and 125.00 for installation..
crazy amount of money for a simple 20 minute $65 .00 part..
Glad it helped!
I don't need sensors and I don't need airbag. Electrical tape will do.
Very helpful! Also have seen issues with a broken wire under the passenger seat harness causing the airbag light as well.
Great tip!
Where on Amazon did you get the replacement sensor. I am not locating one on Amazon for the price you spoke of.
That video is 3 years old - price has gone up. Look on ebay for Dorman Sensor # 590-204.
So, how do ya know which sensor to replace? Through the codes?
Hi guy's
Do you know About the traction control kicking in at all times 05 Yukon ,even when bypassed
Haven't had that issue.
Did you test your old sensors with a multimeter to make sure that was a cause before replacing it?
No - just replaced it.
The Check Engine Light Went Off, On That Silverado, Along With The Airbag Light, WOW!!!
WOW!
I think we can do without the "How to add washer fluid" video.
Wrong video?
Where the hell do I get one that cheap. Amazon acts like it's never heard of anything like that.
Tom - it looks like Amazon might be out of stock. I checked the item number - 590-204 - on Ebay and they still have them available.
What material is on your floor
Flooring is called RaceDeck - here is my video reviewing the install:
th-cam.com/video/Bxau7zM8R_8/w-d-xo.html
Excuse me what is the error code that appeared
Very useful, thanks for the video!
On my 07 Silverado HD classic it was the passenger on off switch that was causing my light to turn on
That is good to know - in the few hours of research that I had done - I had not seen the switch be an issue.
Just curious - had you tried replacing one of the sensors?
bonecrrusherSS yes I did the same one you had changed. The light stayed on then I noticed the back light was not on for the on off I turned it off and the light went off on the dash. Turned it to on the dash came back on
Interesting - this is the first time that I have seen someone have an issue with the switch itself.
If my switch breaks - this will be the first thing that I look at.
bikerbrego where was the switch located
Do you know what code this was setting?
Took me longer driving to get the part then actually change it.. got into a accident in my 05 Chevy 2500hd. the collision center left the airbag light on. Other then fight with them and my insurance, decided to try this. Threw in aDorman Air Bag Impact Sensor 590-204 and No more light.
I noticed that the airbag light would blink five times pause then a six blink on start up when it was bad.. now with it fixed it blinks 7 times and goes away
Glad the light went away.
How did you determine which sensor was causing the issue?
The research that I did pointed to the first airbag sensor.
If it is hte other frame mounted airbag sensor - that same sensor can be used there as well.
Sadly, under my 2005 Yukon Denali, I had wayyyy less room due to that frame bar. It sucked but was a very easy fix.
Yeah didn't have any issue.
Good video and thank you for being thorough in the video! I was able to replace both sensor .
Glad the video was helpful.
Thank you! Helped me fix mine today!
Anyone know the code that OBD2 is throwing that this sensor fixes?
Thanks for the video, I was able to change the sensor without a problem. Giving the wrench sizes helped.
Glad the video helped out!
Holy shit! Are you like 8 ft tall or walking on stilts?? LOL I have 275/70R/18s and a 2” or 3” lift on my 1500 and I have to keep a foldiling foot stool in the back so’s I can step up to reach in my engine compartment! It looked like you were working on a car instead of a truck when you disconnected the batteries. LOL you must be tall as hell!
5'10" I'm standing on a Harbor Freight fold up stool.
bonecrrusherSS I have the same thing. I keep it behind the backseat. LOL Sorry, just had to comment when I seen you look right into the engine bay like that and ur truck looks to be close to the size of mine.
Yeah man truck sucks working on when you have to get deep into the engine bay. That stool is 1000% needed.
It should work for a 2005 Silverado 2500HD the sensor part number?
Yes my Sierra is the same year - same part number.
Thank you, Great Vid. Have to do mine this weekend. Great sounding truck!
Good luck!
I replaced my sensor about 4 years ago and its back on again :/
Big oof - hope that doesn't come back.
Bummer, did not work for me. Either way thanks for the video.
Replacing the sensor didn't turn off the dash light?
i can not find this at Amazon no matter what search criteria I use. ideas?
Try Rockauto.
Did tht actually made your check engine light go off aswell..?
CEL is tied to the turbo vane position sensor. This turned off the airbag light.
you wouldnt happen to know how long the bolt is for the sensor do you?iv been looking everywhere.
No I do not - you can probably take the other sensor bolt out on the passenger side. Should be the same bolt.
very good video i got same problem with a 2006 sierra dont know which one it is
There are 2 sensors on the front frame rail.
Buy one and try replacing one - if that doesn't fix it - move the new sensor to the other one.
Exactly what I was looking for, even gave me all the bolt sizes - thanks so much!
Glad that it helped out!
Great information, can't wait to fix mine
Hope it helps!
The link for the amazon sensor is unavailable
Amazon doesn't have it have a link cause cheapest I can find is 215 and I need 2
Check over on ebay - I saw them for around $100 a sensor.
@@bonecrrusherSS im in Canada cheapest I found was 126 canadian then shipping to canada is 50 bucks plus a chance I might have to pay customs too freaking things are like gold might leave the light on lol black tape
Your video was dead-on. Everything went perfectly. I have the same 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Diesel. The only things I did differently was removing the positive cables on the batteries and I did not remove the skid plate. I began to loosen the left front bolt and realized the your video view was about the same as mine with the skid plate so I left it on. All of the part numbers (new and old) were exactly as you showed. Even though I was standing outside the truck when I turned the key, I was still afraid of the airbags detonating. Thankfully, they did not. Most people do not realize they are sitting in front of a bomb. Side note: The price on the part has increased. I managed to get mine at Advanced Auto Parts for $113 + tax. Amazon was out of stock everywhere. Thanks again for your informative video. Great job.
Glad you where able to get your truck fixed!
It has two batteries because it's a diesel
LETS DO THAT ONE MORE TIME..... POOOF
Boom.
Thanks very helpful, nice garage 👍👍
Thanks Gil!
what raido do you have

I had the same issue. I read the code, cleared it, swapped the sensors and read the code again, and nothing changed. So, for me, I don't believe the sensor is the issue. I'm thinking it's under my passenger seat, either with the wiring or a module.
Did you ever get a chance to find out where wast the problem
@@victorelizalde333 Yes. It was a broken wire under the passenger seat. A real pain to find. I traced every one of them and the jacket was fine, but the wire was broken inside. Soldered in a new wire and problem solved. Apparently, some wires are fatigued when moving the seat forward and backward repeatedly over time.
@@pughconsulting oh thank you for this great info bud ,, I’ve own a 2005 hd 6.6 is an ls extended cab I already searched under my passager seat but there’s nothing under it no module or sensor only place I can match or see one as described ,, Is in under my driver side seat
@@pughconsulting then I’ve checked front impact sensor ,, the sensor on my truck looks very neat and intact no rust ,, dirt or wear .. I appreciate the info shared about a broken wire under your seat ,, I will double check mines ,, thanks bud .. my code is B0044 so I called a local Chevrolet dealer and gave them the code and told me is the steering wheel coil located behind the air bag inside the steering wheel when I asked the the price for this part they said is 300 something with out taxes lol🥴🤕
@@victorelizalde333 I can't recall what my code was but it indicated "passenger" somewhere in the description, so that's what I tackled until I found it. It took 3 hours to find, then I soldered in a new wire while the seat was in place which was a real pain. Good luck to you tracing it down. I have an extended cab as well and moving the seats back and forth loading my kid into a car seat probably sped up the wire fatigue.
What in the world is your garage floor made out of ?? Love it ! I want a floor just like that !
That's Racedeck - here is my install video: th-cam.com/video/Bxau7zM8R_8/w-d-xo.html
What radio is that ?
GM radio out of an Escalade.

How you now is right side sensor
From most of the posts/videos that I saw this was the sensor that failed the most often.
If its the other bumper sensor - its not that much more time to move the new sensor around.
Wont you be, my neighbor
Maybe?
Disconnecting the battery is unnecessary as long as the ignition switch is off! Also if the srs module detects an issue the system is automatically off I've been working on cars for 22 years! Dont listen to this dope about disconnecting the battery!
Dont hate on this guy. Its always a good idea to unhook batteries when working on any module
@@Brownie79 I agree but I've never had an issue
@@lgonzalez1154 would it be ok to get a used one from a wrecking yard?
If you agree then why make that stupid comment?
