Air bag light and TOAF

SCP440 · 10th October 2020, 17:37

My Airbag light has been coming on intermittently for the last couple of weeks so I plugged TOAF in today and was surprised for it to say it could not find the SRS module?

Is this normal or could I have a faulty Airbag module.

What year is the car? Toaf copes well with the early cars, but later cars had Autoliv airbags which need a small programme (and Vista onwards) available from the Poles' website.

Thanks, it is a 2005.

Where do I get this software?

2005, much too new for the original Toaf.

Toaf website: http://toaf.roverki.eu/index.php/en/download-en
it's the last one listed - SRS Autoliv Tool

The software should be in the files that you downloaded to get TOAF. It's a different independent program just for the SRS. Just remember, as with TOAF to do a back up before changing anything as not sure if the SRS does it automatically like TOAF does

...and I can confirm that the software works like a charm

I must have made a mistake when I downloaded it as it says its not there. I will get a child to have a look, they seem to be so much better with computers.

Thanks

As I previously stated with a link, it's the last file listed and a stand-alone file. It is not part of the .43 or .51 versions.

If you like, PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy. It's very small, less than 1MB.

Regards

With Vitesse help I have managed to get the code that is causing the airbag light to come on.

809 and apparently this means the passenger airbag ignition circuit resistance is too big.

So do I need a new passenger airbag, sensor on the inner sill or will this be the module at fault?

Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

Hello Steve,

High resistance in an electrical circuit is usually the result of a poor connection. That's what I'd be looking at first, not buying new parts.
