Omega General Help / Re: Airbag light on

« on: 15 March 2017, 07:10:40 »

Okay, still having problems with this. I have had all the connectors apart under the seat and by the seat on the floor and sprayed with contact spray. Fault still present and beyond me I think. What is the general concensus of whether to give it to the local Indy to look at or give to the stealers who will be more aquainted to Omega wiring and have tech2.?

MOT is due 15 May. Wondering whether to put it in early to see if major money will be required before I spend too much on solving this issue.

What were the meter readings towards the airbag from the seat connectors (contact spray on the connectors was always going to achieve the 3 parts of sod all, as the connectors are reliable)

There are 6 connectors under the seat. Should I be disconnecting these to check voltage?

No, you need to measure resistance towards the airbag from there.

Am I safe to check resistance or will the airbags go off. I am not very experienced with electrics. I don't know which connectors are for the airbags as it isn't clear to me by just looking at it. I will try to post a picture of the connectors.

OBD reader showing code 00087-Passenger side airbag Squib circuit High resistance.
Code recurring after clearing.

Anyone any
Hi  double check the seat wiring underneath, if you got reader diconnect on passager side first, then clear, see if that helps, i had it once this is what i did

There are 6 connectors under the seat. Should I disconnect all these, reconnect battery and clear the code. Then reconnect the connectors?

Bummer! Disconnected connectors sprayed with contact spray and reconnected. Cleared fault code and started engine. Thought I'd fixed as the light went out.....only for it to come back on again! Tried this a couple of times with the same result. No sign of any chaffed wires. I guess high resitance at squib connectors means there is a break there somewhere?
Next move?

Moved them fully forward and back. Op com cleared the code but it comes back immediately. Thinking about it... I had a thermos in the front footwell and I was going up a steep hill when the light came on. Possible that the flask rolled back and hit all those connectors under the seat. Possible cause?

My airbag light came on yesterday evening as I was driving. Can't do much until I get home in a week or so. Don't like driving with the red light on the dash as it catches your eye and I keep thinking 'oh shit what's that?' Apart from avoiding crashing is the car still safe to drive? I presume that the airbag system is just disabled. I have software on my laptop that should be able to  check for the fault and reset the ecu when I get back home.

Strange how it has been working so well ever since I pushed all the electrical connectors together and gave it a tap. I'll have a look at the vapouriser plumbing.

Just a quick update on this issue. Been driving the car with it switching between gas and petrol for some time. Had to do a long journey the other day with the car in petrol. Horrible seeing the petrol guage dropping like a stone. I've checked all the electrical connections before with no improvement. I pushed them all together again. I also tapped the top of the gas pressure guage..........Car has been running in gas faultlessly for the last month. Guess the guage must have been sticking? Anyway, glad I haven't spent a fortune to resolve this. Glad I didn't replace the injectors as advised by Profess Gas!

Gave the lever a wiggle. This didn't solve the issue. There was a very quiet click, not the kind of click I would associate with a solenoid problem. I am sure the battery is okay but will measure the voltage.

Omega General Help / Starter motor issue

« on: 03 November 2016, 20:11:12 »

Having a starter issue: On a number of occasions recently I have turned the ignition only for nothing to happen. If I continue to try and start it has so far eventually kicked in. Is the starter on the way out or is there a way I can overhaul it?

Very frustrated.

Able to do auto calibration. However, when I try to get the maps the link between the laptop and gas ecu keeps getting interrupted after about 30 seconds and screen shows 'no connection'.

Not sure where the problem is. Either the diagnostic cable, a problem with the ecu or perhaps a problem with the laptop?
