    The airbag sensor will not go off of the dashboard and when my husband ran the scan on my car, nothing came up. This has been going on for some time now and in october i was in a front end accident and the airbags did not go off, but the icon is still on, on my dash. The icon is on at all times but there are days when it doesn't come on at all.
