Technical Airbag warning light....again!!!

[Earlofdavetona]

Hi all, I got my OBD2 scanner the other week and tried it on my car but it didn't detect any faults at all. My airbag warning light is still on and it will not go off at any point. When I switch the ignition on for the first time the warning light comes on as the ecu checks the car and then it goes off for a split second and then comes back on again immediately. I have had a look around the system but as I don't know it that well I don't know what I am looking at.
I have a new airbag switch with a new key but there is no battery in it, surely there is no need for the ecu to detect the chip in the key at the airbag switch is there?

The problem is I am taking it for its MOT today cos my mate is buying the car from me so obviously I want it right before he gets it.

Its a 2000 old shape JTD 1.9.

Any help...again...would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

air bag lights dont come into the mot, hand held scanners wont do airbag faults, you need some thing like http://www.fiatecuscan.net with the right leads

Davetona is a place in Florida USA!!
Its a play on words as stoopid as it is. I have a Triumph T595 DAYTONA and my avatar on the Triumph Torque website was Davetona as my name is Dave (that's the actual word play bit!)but one fine summers day somene decided we should all be Earls so hence I became The Earlofdavetona and its stuck ever since.
