If you suspect that a faulty sensor is causing the airbag light to turn on, it’s important to have your Escape inspected by a qualified mechanic. A faulty sensor may also cause the airbag system to deploy at the wrong time or not at all, which can be dangerous in the event of an accident. If any of these sensors are damaged or malfunctioning, they may not be able to communicate with the car’s computer, which can cause the airbag light to turn on. Occupant sensors are located in the seats and detect whether there is a person sitting in the seat. Seatbelt sensors are located in the seatbelt buckle and detect whether the seatbelt is fastened. Impact sensors are typically located at the front of the vehicle and detect the force of an impact. There are several different types of sensors in the airbag system of Escape, including impact sensors, seatbelt sensors, and occupant sensors. If one of these sensors is damaged or malfunctioning, it can cause the airbag light to turn on. The airbag system relies on a network of sensors to detect a crash and deploy the airbags. One of the most common reasons for the airbag light to turn on in Escape is a faulty sensor.
