Technical Air Bag Light

[adcockm]

Hoping some one can help.

i have a 2ltr 20VT coupe and for some reason the air bag light is always on, what dose this mean and what do i need to do to get it sorted.

Thanks in advance

could just be a problem with the sensor or it could be that your airbags are actually failing like the manual says

stuff like that ur gonna need a fiat dealer i think, unless sum1 on here has a better suggestion

Thanks for the reply

some one else said it could be the sensor's, unfortunatly i do not have a manual am still trying to find a free one i can down load.

Thanks again

Hi,

Just joined the forum and in the process of going through the messages.

I have the same problem, where it suddenly came on one day. Not sure if i knocked either of the areas or if that would even effect it!

Hope you have better luck

Airbag warning light constantly lit means there is a fault in the system that needs to be rectified.

Need to go to Fiat or a specialist with ECU diagnostic kit...will probably cost £60 odd to get the fault diagnosed and sorted

Mine came on and even though your not ment to touch them as there explosives i diconnected the battery, removed the lower steering wheel couling to gain access to the slipring wiring, there a 2 pin connector that can cause probs that is under the steering column, all i did was disconnect it give the connector a tweeke and re-connect it, put the battery terminal back on and the light went out maybe woth a try

Failing that get it plugged in and checked

There are a few things that it could be (sensor in the seat, broken wire under the drivers seat, knackered clock spring, etc.). Best to get it along to someone with the right diagnostic kit and see what error is causing the light to illuminate . Be prepared, however, as it might not be a cheap fix and, if you get away with a simple reset, be aware that it may not last very long and could even come back on 100yds down the road .

Personally, mine is on all the time due to a steering wheel swap (until I can get a fix sorted to fool the ECU !).
