Default Air Bag Lite illuminated

I just recently had my 1999 Audi A4 2.8 go through the Pennsylvania State Car Inspection process. Based on the inspection, it failed because of a right front strut boot crack. I paid the deductible and they did whatever they needed to do to fix it. Other then that there weren't any failurs. The day I brought the car back I noticed that my Air Bag lite on my console was 'On'. Is this indication usually because there is a problem with the bag itself or something else? I just find it curious that I've never had an issue with the car and suddenly when it comes back from an inspection I've got a problem to deal with. (I'm a little sensitive with my 'baby'...you understand.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

check the connections of the air bag sensors underneath your seat. Sometimes they become lose.

Jestnomen beats me to it! He was right check the connection, sometimes you need to spray it with electrical cleaner from Radio Shack.

I appreciate the feedback. I took a look under the drivers side seat and was able to see a bunch of wires. But I can't reach all of them in their position even with moving the seat. So I did what I could and it didn't fix it.

Fortunately for me this car is under Audi's certified assured program, so at the most I'll only be out $50. It's gonna go in on Monday of next week.

Whomever implemented these forums ought to get a nice big gift. I've already saved a bunch of money based on your expert opinions!

Thanks again!
