Default Rover 75 Airbag warning light

Hi all
I bought my Rover 75 last Christmas and love it. It came with a few warning lights on which I have solved, but the airbag warning light is the one that has me beaten. The car has not been in an accident to my knowledge, any suggestions would be great.

check the wire connections under the drivers seat. dont atempt anything until the engine is switched off,then waite 10/15 mins just fiddle with the connection pushing them together with a bit of luck it could solve the problem, thats what a friend of mine did with my car.silent polcemen, poor road serfaces can all help to loosen the connections.

You may find the last post of this thread of interest.... ideally though you need a T4 session to pinpoint the exact issue.

Thank you! Yup, this did it for me. Under passenger side seat. Which is right side in continental Europe.

Same happened to me, The red srs light illuminated and wouldnt clear. I simply applied substantial pressure to all the covers (including the rear seat backs) problem solved. Could have been a coincidence but no light showing now

If movement and pressing the connections together under both front seats fails to resolve the issue,remove the airbag fuse and leave twenty minutes,this resets the airbag module

When you say remove the fuse is this with the ignition on or off

Ignition off.

If airbag light comes on and under-seat connections are ok, the next most common failure I believe is the side impact sensors which are under the carpet directly beneath the rear of each front seat towards the side of the vehicle. Especially suspect if they have got wet due to water ingress (plenum/sunroof/etc).

If so, probably worth a T4 session to help find which side has failed as seat has to come out to get access.

If the airbag light goes on and off at varying intervals, then it will be underseat connectors.

If it stays on permanently it will be side impact sensors or a dead ECU / reluctor ring!
