[JaredHasNoBrain]

Hey guys, My Clio 172 2003 has showed up only a couple of days ago with a serv and a airbag light, looked online but It seams like im going to need a CHIP or what ever the diagnostic machine is for faults on renaults

Anyone in South Wales, Cardiff/Bridgend/Swansea I dont mind travelling just want to see how I can fix it!

Thanks

hello there.

that´s a common problem. you dont need any diagnostic machine. thats only the plugs under the passenger and driver seats. they sometimes get loose from moving the seats.
just go under the seats and disconect them clean and reconect them and the lights should go out.

Bringing this back up cos it didnt work, Anyone want to help me with this?
Not really fond of cutting wires and heat shrinking them lol

Of course it might not work.... not every airbag fault on a clio is to do with the seat multiplugs. Ive had the rotary couplers fail on em.
Diags needed to read fault. Its usually pure luck when you fiddle with the seat wires & the lights go out.

I disconnected the air bag ecu on my lads clio and measured the resistance between the relevant pairs in the plug.
Found a faulty side impact sensor that was damaged by water from the leaking sunroof.
Cost £14 for a sensor and a fiver for the silicon.
