Xantia 2 lexia air bag error

[harryp]

Hi Folks,
Just had a Lexia session with my new 7.57 software. 3 or 4 times as fast as the old 7.02 .
MOT looms and thought I would try and get it through without any advisorys - have sometimes been lazy in the past and used the MOT as a fault finder - norty
However it shows an air bag error - "warning light s/c or o/c". However the "detailed" readout shows none and no faults logged. The lamp appears not faulty as it comes on with ign on . Never comes on at all normally; needless to say I was surprised to see the "error". Does anyone have any ideas please?

Short Circuit / Open Circuit - is it the old connector under the passenger seat issue? If the light is not permanently lit on the dash, I wouldn't worry about it, as if there was a fault, this would light up or stay on after starting (as it does if you turn off the passenger airbag. It may just be a ghost fault - especially as it hasn't come on with any other fault code Harry. The tester will only check to see if there are any errors / warnings on the dashboard, as you probably know.

The obvious question to ask is, does the fault come back after you have cleared the faults and used the car for a while ? If not it is probably a "historical" fault that has happened some time in the past but has since been repaired or has not occurred again.

For something like an Airbag, if there was any currently present fault that affected the safe functioning of the device, the warning light would definitely come on unless the warning light had been bodged by someone...

Oops, computer powered off mid type....
Thanks guys . Came as a surprise so guess its a ghost. I'll manipulate the seat plugs as a precaution anyway.
Just have the intermittent ABS to sort out.
It is caused by a broken connector - does anyone have the connector end which goes to the ABS ECU? A couple of inches of wire attached is all that's required as I can then solder on and cover with shrink tubing?
Regards
