Hi guys looking for some advice iv just baught a punto grande 07 plate and the airbag failure message has appeared iv had it plugged in via diagnostic and narrowed it down to the passenger side airbag has 0 ohms resistants everything else is 2 ohms will it be a simple swap for another seat or am I hoping for too much
 
Hi,
Before doing any work on th airbag system disconnect the battery then leave the car for at least 20 minutes. The sytem stores energy so the airbags can work even if the battery is damaged in a collision.
Where are you measuring the 0 Ohms? If it's directly at the airbag connector then you need a new airbag module. If it's elsewhere unplug the airbag and see it it is still 0 Ohms, if it does check the loom and connectors for shorts. You should be able to just change the seat (or airbag module). Some cars will clear the fault if you turn the car on and off 3 or 4 times. If this does not work you will need a dealer or Multiecuscan to do a reset.

HTH,
Robert G8RPI.
