I was wondering if you might be able to help me out figuring out why the air bag, vsc and trac light is on now.

We just got on the freeway today and our puppy crawled under the passenger seat and chew through the wiring harness leading up to the bottom of the seat. The air bag light started flashing and the engine died. I pulled over to the side of the road and looked under the seat and founded the chewed through wiring harness. I spliced the wires back together and replace the fuse that was blown under the hood but all three lights are still on. I pushed the Trac Off button a couple times and the lights stays on too.

Any ideas?

Re: my airbag light is on, and scaring the crap outta me !

Well.. codes may need to be cleared, some SRS codes are hard codes that cannot be erased by disconnecting power, but must be cleared by an SRS scanner. However, all three lights leads me to beleive it triggered a check engine light as well.. have you attempted clearing it? I am thinking you haven't, and the attempt to push the TRAC on and off will do nothing. Either pull the PCM fuse (HERE) or disconnect the negative cable on the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect. This will reset the engine codes. Make sure to allow the vehicle to idle learn after reconnecting the power source.
To idle learn, simply let the car idle for about 15 minutes after starting it for the first time, do not press the gas pedal and do not run any loads, including the lights, A/C, and radio. You will see the car start at a high idle, then go to a low idle, then settle at the correct idle.. your done when it finally settles.

If you have reset the PCM already and the lights came back, then these are other possibilities, but not limited to:

If all three lights are on, then the system could have shorted some where in the PCM as well, due to a feedback loop from the SRS system to the PCM. Also, the wiring in itself, being spliced, is not the best idea.. especially for an SRS system, every connector you add creates a voltage drop in that particular wire of the system. In a system designed to read milivolts, an added splice can change things. However, the only correct option is to replace the entire wiring harness, so if you aren't having any further issues then don't worry about it.

Is it running right?

Yes, it is running. LOL
The check engine light is not on. When I was on the side of the freeway I disconnected the neg and pos cables from the battery for a few minutes but maybe not long enough. I will disconnect the battery again tomorrow and let it idle through the cycle.

Thank you for your imput.

I dis connected the battery for about a half hour the other day and the lights are still on. Do you think my PCM is fried?

Double check that all the got fixed and none of the pins got pulled out. Try reading the SRS codes (how-to is in earlier post).

I'm going to take the connections out and sauder the wires back together and see if that fixes it. I will keep you posted.
