clio SERV light constantly on

[ClioJoe94]

ive recently done a ph1 to ph2 dashboard conversion, all was well then i switched on the ignition, the SERV light came on, at first i didnt think anything of it, i just thought it needed a service, but iv recently read that its actually engine management. and i was just wondering, during the dash conversion i saw the ph1 paseenger air bag didnt fit under the ph2 dash so i left it out, silly of me i know but i got so far that i didnt want to swap it back, the airbag light is also on, could this also be the cause of the SERV light?
​any help appreciated.

Hi Joe,

The Serv light comes on along side the airbag light, only just got rid of mine after 11 months of owning the clio

So if I get an airbag resistor itll hopefully turn off?

Correct but the fact you have removed your airbag is the problem! Have you considered getting a ph2 airbag that would fit under the dash? This would make the lights go out, and also improve safety and potentially save your passengers life, if you're ever in a crash!

IIRC you can fit a ph2 airbag as the the ph1 loom only has a one wiring connecter for airbag whereas ph2s have 2

of course i would prefer to have an airbag underneath the dash, but i didnt have one at hand at the time, also i wanted to make sure a ph2 airbag would fit the dash, and by the sounds of it, it sounds like it doesnt.
thanks for the help both of you.

Phase 2 airbags are two stage (ie. 2 airbags) the phase one only is a single. So it won't fit.
