AIR-BAG LIGHT ALWAYS "ON" 75/05 tourer auto diesel

[GRANDAD LES]

Hello all, I am trying to find a cure for the above fault condition. The drivers foot well is swimming with water, could this be coming from the "plenum chamber" which I did find blocked. I suspect, after reading other reports that damp would cause this fault - the light stopping on. Where do I find this sensor which I gather is around the seat area. I am getting desperate on this one!

The air bag sensor will be under the carpet, and should be near to the door inner sill, you will need to replace it with one from another Tourer facelift not from a saloon, i think big russ stated this not so long back.

You will also need to correct the leak to stop more water entering, think i answered your other post about water in the foot well do you have a sun roof ?

Hi, thanks for reply. No I don't have a sun roof, could it becoming from the "plenum chamber"? THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY WATER UNDER THE SEAT AREA - ONLY THE FOOT WELL.

Have you got the part number for the tourer specifically (and are they all the same)? Thanks

Hi I have a tourer and had this problem just recently.Under the seat there are three plugs the one you are interested in is the small yellow one.In my case it had come adrift from the seat bracket, so that each time the seat was adjusted it was getting dragged along and partially disconnecting.
Disconnect your battery and unclip the yellow plug,take it apart give it a good clean with an elctrical spray cleaner,put it all back and light should go out?Hope this helps.

Thanks but tried that before and did have a leak so suspect I need to change the sensor as above

Hi

thanks for responding. The Pt Number you have quoted appears to be the bar code rather than the part number that seems to start with "Y". With the confusing choice of orange and green sensors for the same part number and the fact that the tourer also seems different to the saloon I just need to make sure I get the right part rather than taking a flyer. Thanks

A problem with the wiring/connector for the seat belt pretensioner can also cause the airbag light to illuminate.

Hi Steve.
I note that you have a 2001 Tourer therefore I would imagine you have the green sensor, if I remember rightly Big Russ stated not so long back that the Tourer would need a sensor from another Tourer as a salon green sensor would not fit.

The saloon sensor part number is ( YDB 100310 ) maybe if you drop Russ a PM he could either give you the Tourer part number or another member whom reads this may know, Arctic
