air bag wiring

[ludaprix]

hiya guys can i chop off the ribbon that goes to the air bag sensor?i currently have the 'serv' and airbag light on from changing the wheel to an aftermarket on.

if i cut the ribbon can i get the lights on the display switched off using a diagnostic machine???

the reason why i want to cut it is because the ribbon keeps wrappin itself around the hub making it difficult to steer, ive tried everything now!!

anybody?

 

[alexbleubolt]

can't u just stick a resistor in it ?

 

[ludaprix]

the resistor is in it at the moment mate but as im turnin the wheel the ribbon is getting pulled and making it difficult to steer

Put the resistor in where the loom connects to the clock spring and remove the whole assembly. You will be able to get the light reset then.

ok mate i think that will be the best bet. isit a big job taking off the whole assembly?

 

[BrianR]

Not really, remove the steering column nacelle and you will see the connector. All SRS wiring is bright yellow.

Take the steering wheel off and release the clock spring cassette by undoing the 4 screws that retain it.
