Service & Airbag light

[MrBlonde]

My Service and Airbag light came on the other day,I do have a OMP wheel on which I put the 3.9ohm resistors in a couple of years ago and never had a problem,i replaced the resistors today with new ones to rule that out but no luck.Also checked connectors under the seats,is there an easy fix or something i can check/do before i take it to Mark Fish to look at?

Could get the airbag turned off with an RSTuner module but it's not cheap.

Could do mate if anyone is local to me in Essex as I don't have the rd module or clip.

The passenger side impact ones like to break sometimes if they've had moisture on them. Will check for best way to disconnect that plug for you later bud.

On my old 1.2 a snap-on diagnostic was good enough to show it needed a side impact sensor

I've managed to get the sensors apart thanks mate,where's the side impact ones tho?

 

[Louis]

Down the left and right of the seat rails. Quite hard to get to

Will look tomorrow mate thanks

Do you need to clear codes after fiddling with resistors, to get the lights to (maybe) go out, or should they go out by themselves if everything is fine?

All done on resistance so no codes need clearing.

 

[MrBlonde]

quick update on this,I found the fault was actually the funny airbag wire or cable that joins the connectors,one had a nip in it.So replaced with another clock wheel and all sorted.

Looks like I've got some checking to do then!

You can turn off the Airbag Ecu/ set it to service mode, but the Service and Airbag Lights will still come on

You could bring it to me or post your airbag ECU to me and I can re-program it to your current configuration of airbags, £20 posted back to you I've a fair few on here now!
