Hi Steve,
It helps a wee bitty thanks.

Now understand that the pre-tentioner is attached to the squib which sets off the airbag. And what I thought was it is in fact the seat belt height adjustment cable, which are both disconnected as they are missing the wee attachments supposed to be attached to the rear of the seat.

Thanks very much for the info.

No not quite - this squib is in the thing your seatbelt clips into down the side of your seat, and when fired tightens the seatbelt around you. The airbag firing is separate - though I guess simultaneous.


I've found a pdf of the wiring diagram, but there doesn't seem to be the facility to attach it here.


But I don't think there's a plain brown wire anywhere - there is a plain orange one connecting the LH pre-tensioner to the loom... sometimes colours can degrade or just get dirty

PS brown is "N", which is confusing

Hi Hogweed,
Understand re: Squib seatbelt situation.

Unfortunately pdf a wee bit blurred and cannot enhance it!

It looked Brown to me, but it was by torchlight and it should be Orange, will check it in the morning in daylight/sunlight!

Many thanks once again.

Well cleared the codes in toaf and the warming for seat and tensioner on left side dissapeared.

Just spent an hour swapping the right impact sensor and now no airbag warning on the dash.

Just hope its ok to pass MOT
