Drive level 2 AirBag
Hi, Can anyone tell me where the driver level 2 air bag is, as my Lexia says that the circuit is open, and any idea as to fix. Thanks

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
It will be level 2 igniter. There are 2 igniters in the air bag (level 1 and 2). Most likely the ribbon cable in the COM2000 has failed. Might be repairable, otherwise replacement, which ranges from £100 - £300 depending on model and source of replacement.

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
If it should happen again which bag does it refer to, seat or steering wheel? I know where the seat connectors are but not the s/w one is in case it just needs cleaning, appreciate any info.

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
It's the bag in the wheel. The problem is the 'COM2000' which is the unit that sits behind and consists of the column stalks, and the rotary connector for the air bag and horn. You can try cleaning the contacts, but it doesn't seem to suffer like that - it's just that the ribbon cable breaks up over time....

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
Any ideas where I can get a cheap repair to get through the MOT, Or can I purchase the part cheaply and get the DIY Instructions from your good selves to do it.

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
Contact this chap, Graeme Hall... he's in Bradford but you can remove your comm 2000 and send it to him, or take your car to him and he will do it while you wait..

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
Remove battery, remove airbag, disconnect airbag and steering wheel radio controls , remove steering wheel. The comm 2000 has one, maybe 2 10mm bolts to undo and some plugs. Then it lifts out.

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
Thanks, any chance of part number? Mk1. 2.0ltr Lx. 2002 estate.
Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
May well be the connectors under the carpet in the passenger footwell, very common problem & a lot cheaper than a com2000.

Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
Would this still show up as level 2 ignighter?
Re: Drive level 2 AirBag
Can be either level one or two, both the connectors are there for each. The car was desinged as LHD. Those connectors are where the airbag loom is extended over for RHD. The fault code means there is a fault on the circuit & it could be anywhere between the airbag ECU & the airbag itself, the two weakest points are those connectors or the rotary ribbon cable in the com2000. The ECU or the airbag itself could even be faulty but the cheapest place to start is the footwell connectors.
