In the 2009 Chevy Impala, the airbag system is designed to fix itself once any problems are fixed, resetting the warning light automatically. The vehicle is equipped with various sensors that work alongside the airbag system, including side impact sensors, front impact sensors, rear impact sensors, and a passenger occupancy sensor in the seat. If any of these sensors detect an issue, the dashboard light will turn on. Common sensor issues are often due to loose or damaged wires, or corroded connectors. Using a diagnostic scan tool can identify the faulty sensor, and once it is repaired, the warning light will disappear.
