Hi,
I have been enduring the red seatbelt/airbag warning lamp on my dashboard being continuously on for some time(when driving). PLEASE tell me that i do not have to replace the 'seatbelt/airbag computer' as according to Vx!
If not then is there a way to get this damn light off.

Thanks guys,
P

Have you had the airbag system codes read, if so, what was the code?

[andyc]

does the car have seat belt pre-tensioners and do other peolpe drive the car and move the seat?

If so check the connector under the seat that connects the pre-tensioner, get quite a few of these on all VXM models for the aove reasons

Regarding the codes - I only have the Vx dealership report that the computer is defective. I whould have hoped that they were sure of this especially at £500+!!! quoted to me for a new computer.

The car is the Omega reflection 2.5 fitted with pre-tensioners and YES the seats have been moved around a bit. I will check connectors ASAP tomorrow - would be great to get this sorted.

Thanks

The light needs to be specifically turned off after fault cured for most codes.

Anyone near you got a cheapo Tech2 (or even a real one)?

[perfferle]

Honestly, I have been out of my league with this great car until this forum. I will start asking around to see if any local garages have a 'tech 2'
Thanks for the advice,

I was thinking if a local OOF member near you had one and be willing to read for a couple of beer tokens....   ....or if your pc is good enough, buy a cheapo tech2 (£30)

[perfferle]

OK this sounds interesting - Please tell me what is posible for me with a tech 2 i.e its uses.

do not confuse tech2 with cheapo tech2.

cheapo can read codes and reset

Not the kind of thing you'd do if you were putting your hand in your own pocket to buy!

Thanks, I will look into a E-By sourced T2. I have quite a few DIY jobs to do on this car and this may help to identify issues.

Thanks

Can the connector be checked out/reconnected without disconnecting the battery for safety reasons? No possibility of triggering the airbags?
