clip software

[Chi]

Someone kindly let me lend CLIP as my airbag light needs turning off and also the spanner has come on the dash even though it says next service isn't for 8k. Anyone know how to turn these lights off?
Cheers in Advance

What's it on? Meg? clio? Who's know what you've got these days.

Tbh the requirements will be mostly the same.

First you need to go into the airbag computer and de-configure the airbags, seats, steering etc. basically whatever you've disconnected. or use resistors to get the airbag lights to turn off. The service light may be on because the airbag light on.

Whilst you've got clip you can go into the injection computer and do a fault check. If you have any permanent faults which show red rather than flashing orange then this could be the cause of the spanner light.

My money would be on, the spanner light is on because of the airbag light is on though.

Chances are Chi, if it's on the Megane II, that it's to do with drivers airbags 1 and 2... so it'll need a clock-spring assembly which is around £50 second hand or £130 new.

Please don't de-configure this just fix the actual problem.

Just to add, I was under the impression you had fitted a aftermarket steering wheel or/and buckets etc. that's why you needed the light turned off.

if it's just a fault with the standard equipment then I wouldn't recommend just de-configuring the faulty part lol.

We get dodgy car traders come in all the time asking to do it for them and they think we're stupid... yeah, we'll de-configure something so you can sell it on to some poor mug who thinks everything is right.

I don't mind reconfiguring for the replacement of standard equipment with aftermarket kit but to get around MOT testing or to make something appear to be working 100% I won't.

Same here Mick, just wrong for so many reasons.

Bloody cheapskate traders!
