I've tried scanning an airbag fault on a 2004 1.1 Panda using MES. As instructed I used the red adaptor with my ELM, but it failed saying that I needed OBDkey or K-Line cable. Any idea's what they are? I never got either when I got MES and the other cables that came with it. Anyone any idea's whats up here or am I doing something wrong.

The fault with the car is that both bag warning lights come on and go out intermittently. Any likely candidates for this too?

Where are you based as i have software which will tell whats wrong. I used multi scan on my fiat 500 and caused issues. So i use delphi instead.

I'm in Ireland so I don't think I'm down the road from you!

This Panda is almost 10 years old so MES should be well able to read the bags. The problem seems to be that I don't have the correct cables...

I'm gonna assume you are using a ELM327 adaptor which is fine for connecting to the engine ecu but doesn't work for the airbag ecu

See my punto airbag light reset video for full instructions on this, you will need to get hold of a 'vagcom' cable

Many thanks for that, I'll order that VAGcom cable today. I looked at the video you showed and a separate one where part of the loom that connects to the passenger isolation switch is replaced on a MK2 Punto. Does this modification apply to the Panda too? Both bag lights come on intermittently while driving, and then go out.. I won't take any action though till I've gotten some fault codes first

This problem does not apply to the panda that I'm aware of, however airbag lights flashing on and off is usually due to side airbag connections under the seats being a bit dodgy

You'll need a specific K-line OBD lead. You've currently got a ELM which will not do the job as you've found out.
