In a 2008 Jeep Liberty, the airbag light will turn off automatically once the underlying problem is fixed. The light usually comes on due to a communication issue between a sensor and the computer, which often occurs when the wiring is damaged or the connectors are corroded, resulting in a loss of electrical connection. To identify the sensor causing the problem, a diagnostic scan tool needs to be connected to the OBD-II port beneath the steering wheel at the bottom edge of the kick panel. Follow the instructions on the device to retrieve the code, cross-reference it to pinpoint the faulty sensor, and then either replace the sensor or trace the wiring back to the computer to check for any damaged wires.

    I'm not looking to drop a bunch of cash on fixing this airbag light issue in my car, especially since the car itself is running fine. I'm curious about the typical cost to get the airbag light reset.
