Air bag and service light fault

[Lukeblakeway]

Hi for the past few months now I have had the service light and air bag light constantly on in my car. I have tried to remake/solder the connections under the passenger seat and tried looking at the ECU underneath the drinks holder to check for liquid damage in and around the ECU but nothing and the problem still persists! Any ideas?

Have the same problem with mine

Didn't fancy getting it plugged in to find out what the actual problem was before going to all this effort no?

Yeah the garage where I took the car for mot told me the fault code was saying an open circuit and from what I've managed to find online what I've done is usually a quick fix but still had no luck with it

Open circuit where?

Open circuit where?

He was a bit vague in what he was saying to me to be honest, but from what I could gather he meant coming from under neath the passenger seat and he thought was loose connections but said as he wasn't an auto electrician didn't want to mess around with something he didn't really know about

Well thats a fair enough comment to make but diagnostic equipmemt should give you a slightly more definitive answer as to where the open circuit is (passenger/drivers side, airbag circuit, side impact circuit, pretensioner, inertia reel, seat position sensor, etc).

In truth the SRS system is one of the easiest systems to diagnose and rectify thanks to the accuracy of the Renault error reporting system.
