Need some help with this one

Those that were at Terberts meet in May might remember the 33 code on my drivers airbag 'high resistance'.

Can't seem to make sense of it or find the actual fault

Really do need this mystery solved as it's MOT failure territory this year.

Anyone who knows Omega electrics (and has Tech 2) can come and help me trace this and fix it I would be very grateful.

London based but can travel

Might be better if you go to one of the Tech2 holders on here

Kevin Wood is the nearest afaik. If its just a matter of turning the light off,a cheap unmentionable ebay special would do it. If its more involved,then yep, Tech 2.

I thought it was best to keep out of airbag ecu's with dodgy software? Or is it key programming?

[MV6Matt]

Thanks for the replies guys.
Tech 2 isn't really the issue.

Kevin did indeed help me out at the Terbert meet with his Tech 2 (thank you again, Kevin!) That's not the issue; I know what the reader is telling me, it's about solving the problem and clearing the light that I need the help with.

Anyone that can help trace the fault along cable/lead etc and can find out what is causing the 'high resistance' is where I'm at now.

I would be really grateful for help with this, if anyone can?

Apologies if it has been covered, but have you tried unplugging and reconnecting the airbag where it plugs into the car obviously ignition/battery off

If it's the steering wheel airbag it could be a problem with the wiring to the wheel, either on the column or within the bezel? that sits behind the wheel

[omegod]

Could also be the ecu itself, local garage couldn't turn mine off with their snap on scanner but a replacement ecu sorted it. it is located under the storage bin between the front seats and is a pain to get to.

Hi,
It's the drivers seat airbag ( not the steering wheel - luckily!)
May well have to check wiring under and inside the seat. Trouble is, I'm not sure what it is l'm checking. Hence asking for help.
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers,
Matthew

Had same problem and found that the wire had come loose under the seat and had been trapped when moving the seat forward.
Soldered the break then ensured that new zip ties kept wire well up away from any entrapment (of course with battery disconnected)

Side airbag has a connection inside the seat backrest and at the side of the seat next to the sill both are readily accessible

There is a TIS acticle about common connectivity problems with side airbag, and IIRC, to cut the connectors and solder.

Any programming. Code clearing is generally OK.

TIS? I'm not familiar with TIS

A link or a website to help me on my way?

Many thanks, by the way
