Airbag, cruise & external temp problem...related?
« on: 17 January 2008, 21:01:46 »

The other day, I set off down the motorway & turned cruise control on. Ran for about 10mins and then turned it off using the stalk button when I hit some traffic. At the same time, the airbag warning light came on and external temp starts flashing (-28 I think it was!). Temp stayed silly & airbag light stayed on until I stopped at the services. When I set off again everything was back to normal and has been since.

The airbag light came on about a month ago - also when I was using cruise control. This also fixed itself after a couple of days.

Both times it was raining quite heavily.

Could these all be related or does anyone have any ideas?

the temp sensor may have been waterlogged.

the airbag and cruise sounds wierd, have you taken the column shrouds off to see if there is anything chafing or touching?

I'll have a look under the shrouds tomorrow. Should the airbag warning light be able to clear itself? I always thought that once it came on Tech2 was needed to reset.

Cheers

If the SRS light has come on due to voltage outside of range then that will reset itself.  Most other reasons, it needs resetting
