Airbag Resistor

[CBetts]

Hiya guys apologies in advance as i know this has been covered 1000 times but i cannot find the answer im looking for as the search button is useless. Just fitted buckets in my cup 172, got a 3.3ohm resistor, but where does it go? any help much apreciated.

Here is what's under the drivers seat.

You need to stick it between the Orange and Brown! wires dude on the black connector

 

[richy22]

And if you want to do the passenger side its the Orange and Beige wires

hmm, done that mate, Still have the SERV light on

 

[CBetts]

anyone have any ideas? am i using the wrong resistor?

Usually you need to have it "reset" unless you disconnected the battery before removing the airbag and adding the resistor? They don't normal self-cancel as a precaution incase there's an intermittent fault and it went out even though there is a problem with the airbag system.

 

[CBetts]

ok, how can i reset it?

 

[CBetts]

I have just disconnected the battery, left it over an hour. then re connected it. Still have the SERV light on. Anyone know how i can sort this out?

Bump

 

[CBetts]

would the rs tuner software be able to get rid of the lights?

need to reset it on a dignostics machine

 

[CBetts]

just cant work out why the resistor don't work, When it has done for other people.

did you try rstuner?

It probably has done, but it you triggered an airbag light (say if you didn't disconnect the battery beforehand), then even if you refit the airbag back the light will stay on until it's inspected/reset by a diagnostic machine.

Disconnecting the battery after won't make any difference as the fault is recorded on the ECU memory and won't go away until it's reset. When the battery is disconnected BEFORE, the airbag control module won't notice the disconnection and can't leave an error on the ECU.

Nope, dunno if this will work.

 

[CBetts]

Does anyone know if there is anyone around the sussex area who will reset the ecu? so i can clear this fault light. Or will i have to take it to renault?

If your down Portsmouth way I can do it on my clip system no problems, reset and reconfigure computer so light never comes on again.

 

[CBetts]

Ok mike that would be great, Once i got the other seat in I will give you a call.
