Disregard front impAct sensor. B0101 code
I have a 2008 and have had the airbag light come on when I was doing a mile run each time I went over 140mph
I then had it come on during each session at VIR
The dealer cleared it for me again but didn't offer advice on the cause or fix
Can anyone help?

I would like to know also..... I have had my car over 160 MPH on a closed highway run and the airbag light came on ,at the end of the run there were at least 4 other 2008 my vettes with the same situation...
The code for my incident was B0104.The code never threw again,(2 years now). I never ran up to that speed again.

Hi Mike
I saw your post but just thought you had a unique one-time/one-car car event.
Then I saw Ron's post that he and several other cars had the same thing!!!
My 2006 has been up over those speeds a lot and I never had the airbag light.
I've got to assume it's something with air loads - I would guess putting a strain on the wiring harness connector.
Do you have some aftermarket brake ducting/air deflectors/intake that is changing the air flow?
This is very generic, but I found:
Another source said that B1010 is an "open circuit".
So, I'm guessing that something is deflecting and pulling on the wiring to at least one of the front impact sensors.
Take a look at the wiring to the sensors, and maybe tape or tie wrap the harness so that air loads or the deflection of some part at speed won't put stress on the connection to the sensors.
I hope you had a good time at VIR and the light didn't mess up any of your sessions!!!

This is very generic, but I found:
- B0100 - Electronic Front End Sensor 1 Performance
- B0101 - Electronic Front End Sensor 1 Performance
- B0102 - Electronic Front End Sensor 1 Performance
- B0103 - Electronic Frontal Sensor Circuit
- B0104 - Electronic Frontal Sensor Circuit
- B0105 - Electronic Frontal Sensor Circuit

I will have to check on what you mention. The only mod would be the K&N not very cold intake
I will be in Daytona the weekend after Road Atlanta with the wife and would like to meet up with for dinner at that place you guys went to during the 24 when I was sick. It would be Aug 13-15th.

Shoot me a PM when it gets closer to the middle of August. My wife is bugging me to do some traveling, but we haven't decided when or where yet. Hopefully I'll be in town when you'll be here.

I hate to bump such an old thread, but I'm having the same problem that seems to be related to speed. If I run my car up to 120, it will turn on the airbag light and set codes B0101 and B0104. I have had my car at speeds in excess of that multiple times without having those codes set, but it started doing it immediately after installing a Halltech MF108 with beehive. I removed the beehive to make sure there wasn't some sort of problem from that since it runs down close to the impact sensors, but the codes still set without it being in place. I have also done the zip tie trick for the connector under the seat. Did either of you figure out the cause of this problem and find a fix for it?
