Airbag Light
Hi all,
I have a 2002 WRX with the STi interior (transplanted) and the airbag light stays on. I assume this is something to do with perhaps seatbelt pretensioners etc. How do I get rid of the airbag light on the dash? Thanks |
Not a Scoob but the works van had the airbag light on and that was a sensor on the pretensioner.
Only way I know of getting it to go off would be to get the part replaced and get a main stealer to reset it. |
Did your WRX have side airbags?
If so, did you replace the seats with the battery connected? If so, that's the cause of the problem. If not, just get a dealer to run the diagnostics and they'll tell you... BTW Seatbelt pretensioners are part of the retractor inside the B pillar. Changing front seats would have not affect this part. |
I couldnt tell you if it had side air bags as std as the car had the interior already replaced before I bought it and dont know whether the swap was done with the battery disconnected.
Sounds like im going to have to visit a stealer... grrrr.... I read on other forums that it should be a case of putting a 3.3 ohm resistor into the connector but im sure theres a wealth of knowledge here before going anywhere else. |
Resolution to this problem is as follows:
2 x 3.3ohm 0.6w resistor from Maplin's for 21p each (one for each seat.) Place one in each clip underneath the seat.....voila...airbag light now off...!! |
