Airbag fault light.
« on: 23 June 2011, 19:04:44 »

Lazyfec ...glassback came over today to try to install "My Naff Code Reader" softare for me (which didnt work) so we tried his reader on my car, as the airbag light has been on since I changed the seats.The reader came up with "92- sensor pad 1 circuit malfunction". It kept switching between present / not present.
This might suggest a bad connection ? sensor pad 1 - drivers seat ?  :-/
Any ideas anyone ? Tia.

we seem to be getting a few with this fault lately

you, rossi123...

Its the child seat / seat occupancy detection that is sewn into the seat.

How we fix it, is still unknown.

Could be a seat swap
could be a reconfigure of the airbag ecu to say occupancy not present
could be install a resisitor somewhere and disconnect the relavent wire.

So pad sensor 1 is the passenger seat Jimbob ?.....is the constant switching between present/ not present a common factor also ?
Lazydocker thought his "My Naff Code Reader" would be able to clear the code and put the light off, but it wouldnt have it. :(

Did you try clearing the code with the child seat sensor plug disconnected

Were the seats you removed the same 'spec' as the new ones?

I've got the same problem with mine when I retro fitted the leather seats. I'm going to try and fit the later airbag ECU.

If it were me then ideally I'd feel happier with a matching set of S.R.S. equipment all from one car.

Inside the front passenger seat. The connector is under the seat. Flat yellow oblong plug (3 wires) about 50mm x 30mm x 10mm

Whenever messing with airbag systems I would strongly advise disconnecting the battery ;)
