airbag light
« on: 20 January 2013, 14:04:33 »
98 3.0ltr elite auto mini facelift

hopefully a easy question,  my airbag warning light has come on, friday afternoon backing up my steep drive in the snow the rear wheels spun then griped and i parked the car as normal thought no more of it, saturday morning on starting the car airbag light is on.
     comes on when ignition switched on then out but then back on again and stays on, papercliped today only 12 and 31 so no faults shown up, two questions.

1. are my airbags operational as no faults showing ?

2. i am asuming i need a tech 2 session to turn the light out, in which case is anyone near Liverpool ?

thanks in advance

1) No  :'(
2) You need to have the SRS ECU read. If the code is not current, note it and clear it.

IIRC 'Safety Restraint System'  :-\ (ie seat belts & pre tensioners + air bags)
