Ba rtv airbag light.

Recommended Posts

I've just bought a ba rtv and the airbag light shows on the dash. Sometimes  a combination of flashes (4 then pause then 9) other times it is solid. Any clue what might be causing this.

Airbag code 49, is to do with a sensor under the drivers seat I think?

 

Try checking if the drivers/passenger seats have side airbags,

and/or see if the wiring underneath has come apart.

The wiring for the seat track position sensor has been clipped. Any idea where this is supposed to be wired to, got a red wire and a green and pink one

I'm thinking so. Looks as though it's missing a plug in the side of the seat (got three on the car side. And I can see where a plug has been broken off the seat. Possibly getting another one tomorrow.

Maybe the sensor has just been broken?

 

Is the sensor even there?

(should be same as passenger seat I imagine)

Sensor is there. With wires that go to nothing. Passenger doesn't have one as no airbag on passenger side

The other connector must be there somewhere.

Just un-plugged maybe?

 

I thought all B-series had a passenger airbag?

The connector has been broken off the holder on the seat for the other plugs. I think jts got the side airbag but does have the ine in the dash.

No its missing entirely. I even went to the point of pulling the seat out and taking all the trim off the side and lifting the carpet up. Still found nothing

 

That is strange.

Something must have changed?

 

Maybe the RTV's didn't have the sensors,

and the airbag module has been changed?

 

One thing to check - often with Airbag systems, the plugs have integrated metal strips,

to short the pins on un-used plugs.

And/or, for plugs which get accidently un-plugged.

 

Maybe there's an un-used connector somewhere for the seat sensor loom from the airbag module,

which has lost it's shorting strip?
