My 2011 hyundai sonata landed on naija soil some weeks ago. I decided to take it for thorough washing(interior and exterior) to make it look quite clean and presentable. Unfortunately after the washing, i drove it home, parked the vehicle, started it the next morning, lo and behold, the airbag light came on. What could have been the problem and what can the solution possibly be? Your candid response is needed please ��

Hello sir we can not guess what the problem is unless you go for computerized scanning. And did you check the history of the car with the use of the (VIN) befor buying it. Cause it might be an accidented one which the airbag module will have store the record which may trigered the light anytime. Or in the case of the washing the might have also tampered with the system. But firstly get the car scan. Thank you.

The car has a clean history. I'm also guessing that the washing had tampered with the system. Thanks a lot

If airbag light will come on it will, It's not something that comes on later.

Your interior was thoroughly washed with water.
Check your airbag module for corosion .
Clean the ports of corosion is present and water didn't get to it internally .
If module is completely damaged. replace it
