hi all,
hoping someone can help.
i recently replaced the heater fan in my 2000 Omega, to do this i had to remove the passenger airbag. Since the airbag has been put back i have got the airbag warning light coming on continuosly!
Can anyone advise how to reset this warning light??
thanks

You sure that you reconnected it up properly?
A real or 'cheapo TechII' will be able to read & reset the fault code once thereason for it throwing the fault has been corrected.

Where in the country/world are you?  
If you update your profile, there maybe someone just around the corner who can diagnose for you.

Ah! A Pie Eater!  
You have an OOF neighbour & I just visit to work!    
And I also have a 'Cheapo Tech II' that is able to clear the fault once fixed.

How much do you charge for this?
thanks

The airbag system will detect any interruption to related circuits (even with ignition off) and raise a fault. The only way to avoid this is to disconnect the battery before touching it.

I suspect the system now needs to be reset with a Tech 2 or, possibly a cheapo Tech 2.

does anyone know if it will be expensive to take the car to a diagnostics garage to have it reset?
will a normal diagnostics garage have one of these Tech 2 machines?

This will also happen if you turn on the ignition with the bag unplugged. This happened to me last year and luckliy mu local mechanic reset it with tech 2 for £5...

There is another Omega Oners Forum member who is also a Pie Eater.

Of course.

Nothing,

Other garages will have generic code readers, Tech II is generally the preserve of main dealers ..... unless you're a forum member with his own   ..... I had an airbag light on my lads Astra F turned off for £30, ut a dealer is likely to charge you more like £50
