Hi, my wife rear ended someone in our 2008 Sportage. Our car is undamaged, the other car has a small dent. The crash was quite slow approx 5km/h.
The following day the airbag light came on and has remained on ever since. I hooked up my OBDII scanner (With smartphone and torque app) and am not getting any error codes. Can anyone tell me what I should do next to troubleshoot this issue?
I called the dealer and they said there will always be an error code if that light is on, however I've read online that that is not always the case.

True. I'm afraid you'll need a professional diagnostics machine (the ones that cost thousands). My advise is to go to the dealership and pay for the diagnosis, research the code they extracted, then decide whether this is something you can repair, or your mechanic can do, or you want the dealer to repair.
