What do these sensors do?

Evening all,

What do the 2 sensors do pictured? I think they are airbag related but not sure. As I am about to remove all the airbags I don't think I need them but not sure.

Cheers, I would guess you are right with the top one as I couldn't turn the T/C light off after I disconnected it. As they are not that important I think I will move them to a more prominent position cable tied to the makeshift dash :tongueout:

Quick after thought. Do you reckon that the Traction control sensor is mounted in the middle of the car for a reason? could there be a G sensor in there? Don't want to move it and get problems

Yeah if it's a yaw sensor it would need to be in the centre, it's a track car though, bin!

its also a road car so don't want a s**t load of warning lights coming up lol. I will leave it in place but unplug it, then it can be plugged back in for the MOT to get rid of the warning light :smile:

traction/srs light isn't a fail.

 

[Trackslag172]

I thought any warning light on the dash was a fail under the new MOT rules (might not have come in yet)

 

[bloke]

nope, not even an advise for it.

fair enough, in the garage it goes :smile:
