WILL SERVICE light stay on wiv air bags disconnected ?



  clio 172
Ive removed the original seats and installed bucket seats and fitted an omp steering wheel and removed the airbag from passenger dash.

Is this why my service light is on or does this mean that i have a sensor fault somewhere else.

The car had service light on when i purchased it and i have driven it since yet, it doesnt seem to like low revs when pulling off below a 1000 RPM, could i have a dodgy sensor ?

From the 1st of Jan, 2012 this will also be an MOT failure what with the new rule updates coming on that date pertaining to MIL's and otehr warning lights.

That won't work - Obviously it will only apply to vehicles with SRS units fitted but the garages working to the new rules know that systems such as SRS, ABS and other MIL's are supposed to come on then go off (and stay off). If they don't come on the system has been tampered with and so your car will fail its MOT. They're even going to be looking at and going after vehicles that have had the ECM maps "illegally" modified though i'm awaiting clarification from the local enforcement officer to clarify exactly what that means.

This is not a hoax either as my regular tester showed me the VOSA leaflet detailing all the additional tests coming in from Jan 1st as he's going to be throwing me all his SRS and electrical work.

You could just wire up the air bag light to the oil light or any other light which pops on and off when you switch your ignition on,

Or just do a search and sort it with the resistor mod.

I dont think the remap will be coming into it mick, due to the fact there is going to be no way of proving it. (or at least cheaply). Also inner cv boots are going to be a fail along with split dust covers on suspension and steering joints, EPAS, EPB and airbag warning lights all becoming a fail if there on. I heard a roumour that if you visually see the cat has been removed its a fail (even if it passes the emmisions)

Yep, the document stated "Missing CAT" is going to be an instant fail to. I've got some photos of the document with the highlights on so will post them later.
