air bag fault on my c5

Post by smleighton »

I have a 2003 C5 2.2hdi automatic and have a drivers air bag fault,it say something like 2nd stage air bag and squib fault tried to reset it with my friends snap-on fault finder, wouldn't reset. I've changed the air bag and squib off another C5 that worked ok, and tried to reset it but it was the same, has any body any idea what else it could be, I don't want to have to go to the dealers if i can help it. Cheers

Could it be the connections under the seat (yellow plug I guess), clean them up and make sure that there is a good connection.

If the ecu reckons they have fired you need the airbag ecu resetting iirc as it's permanently written to it. Only faults can be erased but fireoffs not.
