pre-tensioner?

[MOFO]

i have my clio stripped so what do i do with the rear pre tensioner? if i just cut the wires the airbag and service light come on so what shouyld i connect them too? cheers people,

 

[MATT BLACK]

use a diode to join the circuit

^^^ WTF is that lol

 

[MATT BLACK]

lol - i call them diode's, most people refer to them as resistors. Its a little electrical device which you solder into the wire which leads to the seatbelt pre-tensioner / inertia reel. It prevents the airbag warning light from coming on ( if this light appears on your dash your complete airbag system is immobilised ) with this gadget your dash and steering wheel airbag will still work and also your front seat belt pretensioners

^^^cheers matt, were can i buy them from?

^^ cheers dudes

Any electrical shop ?? radio controlled car shop ?? radio shack ??

make sure you get a 3ohm type

 

[MOFO]

ok, do i need to ask for anything spacific?

Drivers airbag between 1.8 to 6.2 Ohms. This runs through the lines 1 and 2 of the airbag/pretensioners computers.

Passenger airbag between 1.8 to 4 Ohms. This runs through the lines 3 and 4 of the airbag computer.

Side airbags between 1.8 to 4 Ohms. Passengers line runs through the lines 34 and 9 of the airbag computer. Drivers line runs through the lines 8 and 33 of the airbag computer.

Pretensioner between 1.8 to 4 Ohms. Passengers line is marked D and is track 11 and 36 on the 30 track connector. Drivers line is marked C and is track 10 and 35 on the 30 track connector.

So long as the resistance is between these values above (I'd a resister value in the middle of each of these values) then no warning light will come on.

Just go in and ask for a suitable value resistor, like edde says in ^ something in the middle should do.

edit: Ah, beaten by the man himself.

There ya go

If your struggling i have loads - i will send you a few out

its fro my rear seat pre tensioners?????

 

[MOFO]

so i just cut the wire and solder each a wire to each end then done yea?

Theres two wiures to the unit (least I think there are if not then wire the other side to the earthing point on the car.

Cut the wires and solder one side of the resister to one wire the other side of the resister to the other wire.
