Turning airbag light off with CLIP?

[Skeeter]

Am I correct in thinking that you can turn off the airbag light with CLIP so that even without any resistors or an airbag fitted the lights will come on when you start the ignition as normal but then go off and stay off?

If so where can I get it done and how much will it cost me?

My airbag lights on and no matter what I do with resistors or fiddling with the cables under the seat nothing seems to turn it off, and my MOT is in a week.

Yes you are correct, it can also be done with an RSTuner that has the Air Bag module.

 

[Fletcher]

Neither Clip or RS Tuner (with air bag module) could turn my airbag light off.

 

[Oggy997]

Pretty sure you just tell it that that airbag was never fitted.

 

[AlexW]

Yep. Some specialists can do it.

Neither Clip or RS Tuner (with air bag module) could turn my airbag light off.

Probably a incorrect configuration (operator error), assuming the Airbag module wasn't removed.

Then there is a fault with your system mate.

Or the system has fired, I don't think Clip can disable the light after the ECU has locked.

Mike@Rentech tried, he knows what he is doing so it's a fault with my UCH.

As above mate, it still gets through a MOT so I'm not to fussed TBH.

 

[Skeeter]

Its not fired as very rarely it will randomly turn off. But this is once in a blue moon.

Clip sounds like a route if I can find someone near me. Interesting about the RS Tuner option. Didn't know this. How much is the airbag module?

 

[dmallett]

I can do it but your a bit far lol

 

[Skeeter]

Cheers for the offer but yes your a bit of a drive away

Is there anyone near Surrey that can use CLIP to disable the check for the Airbag to turn the light off?

The RS Tuner option might be good too. But its expensive to buy an RS Tuner, unlock code (and presumably the airbag module?) just to get it through an MOT.

 

[Oggy997]

You don't need to unlock it iirc.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I had the same issue as Fletcher as it happens. I have resistors on all my airbag circuits besides the steering wheel but one must have come loose as it randoms on/off, Mike@Rentech tried turning it off but said it wouldn't accept it and it's just how it goes (some let you, some don't). I'll just rip the seats up before MOT time and make sure the resistors are in position etc.

 

[AlexW]

If I sort my clip, I'm down in Surrey sometime soon, so I'll PM you nearer the time.

 

[Skeeter]

Cheers. MOT is up in just over a week

 

[Skeeter]

Looks like an RS Tuner is an option too. Does anyone near me have one and the Airbag module?

 

[GrahamS]

If you fancy a drive to Wateringbury tomorrow I can turn them off with CLIP

Do you know what, I forgot about you!

I've found lots of claims an RS Tuner can do it, but very little from people who have actually done it. ~£170 is a lot to pay to find out it doesn't work, even if I do then sell it on.
I may take you up on your offer Graham. Are you about over the bank holiday weekend?
