An illuminated airbag light can indicate a problem with the airbag system in your 2002 Pontiac Bonneville. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly fix the issue yourself:

  1. Check the airbag system fuses, if a fuse is blown, it will need to be replaced.
  2. Inspect the wiring and connections of the airbag system, make sure they are not loose or corroded.
  3. Check the airbag control module, make sure it is not damaged or faulty. If it is, you may need to replace the module.
  4. Check the airbag sensors, make sure they are not damaged or faulty. If they are, you may need to replace the sensors.
  5. Check the seat belt tensioners, make sure they are not damaged or faulty. If they are, you may need to replace the tensioners.

If the problem persists, the issue might be with the airbag system itself, in that case, you might need to take it to a professional mechanic.

Tools you will need to complete these steps are:

  • A voltmeter or multimeter
  • A set of sockets and wrenches
  • A clean cloth or towel to protect the dashboard and surrounding areas while you are working on it.
  • A fuse puller (if your car does not come with one)

Please note that these are general steps that can be applied to troubleshoot this issue, your vehicle might have specific issues that might require different troubleshooting methods. It is always recommended to consult your vehicle's owner manual for specific instructions or take it to a professional mechanic if you are unsure.

In addition, keep in mind that the airbag system is a critical safety feature and if it is not working properly, it can put you and your passengers at risk. It is important to address the problem as soon as possible, whether by yourself or by a professional.

As a tip, it's also recommended to take note of the specific code that appears on the airbag light, it can help the mechanic to narrow down the problem. Some vehicles have the ability to pull codes from the airbag system, if you have access to a scanner you might want to try that
