Hi there. In most cases, the airbag light will go on or off if a sensor is damaged or has a loose connection or fitting. Unfortunately, it’s a safety system that can’t be disabled. It’s probably a better idea to have a professional mobile mechanic complete a warning light inspection to determine why the light is acting this way and recommend the right repairs.
