I'm in a kinda of a pickle, my 2010 Liberty's airbag light keeps coming on and off. I had it scanned before and I had to replace the clock spring, brake pedal sensor, and seat belt buckle (it showed it was open on scanner). Now the airbag light still goes on and off, and again I had it scanned and no codes. What could it be?

Welcome to the forums.
You will need a high end shop scanner. Find a shop with a Snap On Modis Ultra.
Have them search for any pending or stored codes, also while driving.
Record and note any applicable codes.

Thanks,
I called another mechanic and he said that it could be a bad ground, so I'll be going there on Monday. And all I know my mechanic uses a Snap On scanner and there were no codes.

The module itself could be bad, mine showed code P1000 (not a bcm code) on a 2003 jeep liberty and it was a defective module, replaced it with used one off ebay and lights out. make sure you get one for same year with same part number, I also did a build sheet check on google to see if the used part had side impact bags or not. mismatched options on used part could also trigger light. Could also be poor ground since no communication with Air Bag system (which self scans during driving may trigger it), I'd check and clean every ground I could find under the dash and disconnect and spray every air bag harness connector with a electrical contact cleaner. Good luck

Thanks for the replies, found out it was the clock spring again. It didn't throw any codes until he moved the steering wheel and that code came up. The first clock spring was bought off of Amazon, same number that dealership gave me, but when I said this to mechanic he said that they were junk. Don't know why but it cost me a big dollar to replace again.
Thanks again for the feedback.
