Another Airbag Fault
I got an airbag warning light on my MG ZT-T 03. At first I thought it was the connections under the seats. I got those connections apart and sprayed some WD-40 on them. I waited a bit and started the car and no more light. But the next day problem came back and I got them apart again. This time the light stayed on. I tried again and cable tied the connections that they are really tight and won't get loose. But the light is still on... What to do next?
The light goes off for a second when starting and then illuminates again. When I took the fuse off the light stayed on constantly. Is this something that can be useful information? Should I remove the blue and yellow connections and try soldering them? Or does it seems that the problem is somewhere else than in the connections? |

You need to read the SRS ECU faults as the problem could be elsewhere. TOAF will do this if you buy and modify a lead for it. Otherwise you need T4 or a garage with comprehensive diagnostic kit to read it.

As above T4 will diagnose the problem as an SRS fault can be a number of things, if you have a sunroof and have not done the drains mod you could check under the carpets for any water as the side impact sensor is located on the cabin floor and is often the next port of call once you have eliminated the under seat connectors as it can get wet and fail

Ok. I'll try to find a garage with T4 first. I have a sunroof, and I don't know if the drains are stuck, I could check them too.
Are the side impact sensors on both sides of the car? And how deep are they? I mean do I have to tear down half the interior to get there? |

Had the same problem on mine turned out to be the seat belt pre-tensioner, the part that the buckle on the belt plugs into by the handbrake. Replaced that and never had a problem since.

Another vote for a T4, takes all the guesswork and frustration out of finding the cause, solving it by trail and error can get expensive as well. Like Bob mine was down to a duff seat belt pre-tensioner.

Or you could put the money you'd have to pay the garage towards buying yourself a Pscan. It will diagnose faults on engine, ABS and airbag systems on our cars.

Today it was diagnosed by the garage. Fault code was b1028 and it stated that it is the rightside pretensioner at the backseat. This was odd, because according to mechanic my car doesn't have pretensioners in the back seat at all!
Does anybody recognize the fault code or have a clue what does this backseat pretensioner mean? |
