Hi all, I own a w reg 1.1 seicento sporting. Where is the ecu/module for the air bag unit located on this car and does any one have a pic so I know what I'm looking for.

Not sure that there is an ECU as such!

Should be detailed to mind boggling detail in the Seicento Technical Manual (in the downloads section).

Ok thanks.

Is the air bag actuated from the main engine ecu then? Or is there a seperate actuator for the air bag?

no the airbag is a standalone unit based on inertia in the event of impact so no wires as such all self contained from memory

I thought there was a light in the Speedo but memory plays strange tricks, the pretensioners only need a tap with a hammer.

Thanks everyone for your helpful replys.

These are not the answers you're looking for
You are quite correct -later cars do have a separate airbag ECU.
Not sure if a W plate would have one, but it's easy enough to check that out, it will be mounted directly in line (& forward of) the centre consul behind a plastic shield.
You didn't say why you needed this info but it's easier to just remove the fuse if you're worried about it going off when working on the car.

There is also a possible further confusion, as all early Seis were fitted with the 'rugby ball' wheel, but not all contained an airbag.

Well thats something i never knew, do you think this could be correlated to the early sei's that did not have PAS??

If it has an air bag, then there should be a date sticker above the drivers seatbelt?

good point, all my sei's have had one of them.

Does the sticker relate to the airbag.... or the pre-tensioned seatbelts?
My sticker 'fell off' when it was out of date

Blu -Why are you so wide?

pretty sure they are for airbags them stickers, i my actually look at it properly for once next time i get in, cinqs don't have them stickers though...

Nah, you're definitely wide
With my bookmark tool-bar enabled yours is the only post that doesn't fit on the page

well fits on my page fine so :nerner:. You could just turn off signatures and then it won't bother you so much

Getting a little off-topic talking about blu & his massive girth....

Interesting thought, although late Cinqs had rugby ball wheels and Sei stalks. Its as though the originals ran out before they had finished building the Cinq.

lol, and a surplus on non-PAS steering stuff when they started building the sei.
