Air bag light - typical
« on: 30 December 2007, 08:57:50 »
2 weeks away from an MOT and the air bag light comes on.

History - Always had problems with the drivers door sensor.

Replaced by dealer under warranty.

November 2006 - TheBoy checked it out, cleaned all the door contacts.
Light came back on when I got home.

Bought a new sensor - light came back on within 2 weeks.

Cleaned up the contacts in the drivers side kick panel.

Been OK until now.

I'm getting code 16, I think what your refering to brings up different codes.

It does but.....I always carry out the tech bulletins related to the system as a matter of course if the system throws a wobbly.

Its possibly also worth considering the same on the connector in the drivers foot well.

AFAIK a lit airbag warning light is not a reason for MOT failure. I had one a couple of years ago which passed.

However, I can't find anything official on the net to support this and I am not an MOT tester.

Can anyone here say with certainty?

Thanks, Jim

I can seen that doc, but the implication is its only with the seat pyrotechnics are playing up (common on Vectras BTW).

AA - can you reset it and see how long it takes to return?

SRS is not MOT failure as far as I can work out.

Thinking about M_DTMs comments about the bulletin - although it appears unrelated, may be worth doing, as we've all seen these ECUs through false codes when other problems are detected.  I would have thought you'd also have the seat high resistance one though. But for the sake of ellimination.....

depending on how smart the garage is, remove the bulb for the MOT  ;)
