Hi all,
I've got a very nice 75 Tourer (perfect in every way!) with a strange airbag light problem. Like everyone else, it is intermittent, but very predictable, so it will come on (and stay on) every second turn of the key, which means it goes off every other start.
Presumably that's enough for it to fail it's MOT. I had a T4 session at a garage and was told the airbag ECU was not responding to any commands to clear or reset the system so the recommendation was to replace it.
There were a few other error codes on the system, mainly to do with the drivers side impact sensor, so I dug out the sensor and had a look. There's no sign of corrosion, it looks in perfect condition. Is there any way to check whether it is faulty? No issues with the connectors under the seat.
Has anyone else had the reliably intermittent airbag light problem? And does it actually sound like an ecu problem? I've got a new airbag ecu which I'm thinking of fitting but will need a T4 session I guess - is there anyone with a T4 in the London area able to give me a hand? I'd rather give the money to a member than a garage!
Thanks!
