Reconnected cut wires under seats - airbag light still on?

[samg1988]

Got myself a clio last winter. The airbag light and SERV have been on for ages.

Discovered the wires under the seat had been cut. So I've now re-connected and soldered them all.

The lights are both still on...

What should be the next step? I've been reading about diagnostics. I have an OBD reader, but no software for clio specifically. What software should I use to see if I can read which specific connection might be at fault?

Would it be worth me sending the unit away to be reset, or is this only for clios that have been crashed? None of my airbags have been deployed.

Thanks
Sam

You need to get it on a Clip really, that will show exactly whats causing the light.

I managed to get a copy of PCMScan working. This said there were no errors being read. Should I trust PCMScan?

I've been reading about Clip so I need to find a garage to do that. Ideally I'd like to sort it on the driveway if I can.

Once it's reconnected you need to re-programme it/clear it.

It won't go out on it's tod as it's already recorded the fault.

I was thinking of sending it away to one of the ebay airbag ECU clearer places for £25. I'm not sure if its worth while to do yet until I find out if there's still a dead connection, hence why I was trying to do a diagnostics first.
If there was a dead connection still, I guess the ECU would throw up another error and I'd have to spend another £25 each time sending it back to clear it?

I'm thinking about cutting out the connectors altogether now.

Is there a guide anywhere to make sure I wire up the right wires to one another? I've tried searching but sifting through 1million results is really time consuming.

Can anyone help?

You can cut the wires and solder a resistor between the two to stop it giving warnings all the time if you have aftermarket seats or the sensors playing up.

The 3.9ohm one from here. Seal it in electrical tape afterwards obviously. Then clear the codes and it should leave you alone!

Yeah I've been reading about that, the only thing is I want my airbags to work in a crash if I need them
