Serv and airbag warning lights

[mr2haz]

Please could somebody point me in the right direction.

I have purchased a mk2 clio which previously belonged to Dink on this forum. It was a non runner due to timebelt failure. This has now been fixed and the vehicle is almost ready for the road.

The problem is the serv and airbag light comes and stays on. As far as I am aware the car has not been in any accidents.

What do I need to do to solve this problem?

wiggle the wires under the drivers seat.

Or passengers seat.

I'll give that a try this evening and will post if that solves the issue.

If it doesn't then check all the other airbags and sensors but after that it can only be that the airbag computer has a detonation logged.

under the passenger the wires are connected with a little block, make sure they are in securely. Another way to sort it is to remove the block and solder the wires directly together.

I had same fault on my Pug206 - My seat belt pretentioners went off - Had to buy a new airbag ecu for 90 quid and had a mate at pug re-program it for me.. not sure if its similar thing for the clio

Thanks for the help everyone. The lights are no longer showing after I pushed the plug together under the passenger seat.

I rewired the driver's seat but couldn't be bothered doing the passengers. (really awkward to access) Just tap them occasionally, move the seat fowards and backwards and press the red bit on the seat belt a few times and bob's your uncle.

Hello there Everybody,

My Clio 1.6 16v Sport was recently invloved in a minor accident where ONLY my side driver&passenger seat airbags came off but insurance replaced them and put them back in my car. I how ever dont have the problem with the airbag light on after all that and my car was fixed, but now the service light is constantly on and ill try all the above "fixes" to this problem and see if it will work.

If anybody out there could know better of another fix to this id really appreciate your help...

Tnx!!
