No, it is not normal for the front passenger airbag light to be orange and stay on in a Chevrolet Spark. This usually indicates a fault in the airbag system, such as deployed airbags, malfunctioning seat belt pretensioners, a faulty clockspring, crash sensor issues, stored crash data, wiring problems, or communication errors. The system should be checked using an OBD airbag scanner.

Questions and answers
If my front passenger air airbag light is showing ON but orange colour .is it OK. I try to turn it off the light still show on the dash board orange colour but off. Is it ok
No, it is not normal for the front passenger airbag light to be orange and stay on in a Chevrolet Spark. This usually indicates a fault in the airbag system, such as deployed airbags, malfunctioning seat belt pretensioners, a faulty clockspring, crash sensor issues, stored crash data, wiring problems, or communication errors. The system should be checked using an OBD airbag scanner.
