Been round to my mates today who has a 1.9jtd estate. Fully loaded with electric seats sat nav etc etc. It is giving out asr failure esp failure airbag failure. I plugged in multiscan ecu and it comes up with no fault codes at all. After trying for a good thirty mins or so we tried to start the car and the battery was as dead as a dodo!!
Could the problems be caused by a battery that is on its way out??:confused:
Just seem strange that it wasn't storing any fault codes in it memory.

Yes, a failing battery can cause these fault messages. I had the same problem with faults flashing up when my battery was kaput! Its amazing what can happen just because of a failing battery.

Agreed... my batterys had its day on my JTD (due to excessive cranking all the time thats hopefully just down to bad glowplugs.) Anyway, mine always fires the EBD ASR and Airbag failure messages when I'm cranking it.. 10sec after it fires up, they all disappear. Like MEP and Philip said, its probably your battery.
 
Yeh told my mate to take it down to Halfrauds as it had a batery maybe around 5 years ago so may just still be under warranty!!
Defo a good place to start I think.
 
Also check battery leads are clean and tight
plus check connectors under the battery.

I once forgot to tighten fully the negative lead on the fuse box
after removing it to change a side light bulb, the car wouldn't
start and showed every fault it could think of. Tighten the lead
fully and they all went.
