I think if you have replaced the pre tensioner and the airbag, then after replace a new or second hand air bag module with no fault codes on the light should go off and airbags should work fine again. Or you can fit the airbags and pre tensioners and get the fault codes removed of your current airbag module, then after replacing i think the light should go off

Ahhh just what i was looking for i thought that but wasnt sure

New seat with un deployed air bag , new pre tensioner so in theory new module with no "codes" or previous air bag deployment i should be fine

Thanks alot

Yes i think that's correct. I hit a curb and the seat air bag, passenger pre tensioner and rear seat pre tensioner went off... I replaced them all, sewed the seat up, but haven't got around to buying a new airbag module yet.

Is it as straight foward as unplugging ecu and plugging in the one ive got or do i need to dis connect the battery 1st

Also how do i get to it ? Do i just pull ash tray out or do i need to remove more
