Airbag warning light on since MOT

[twobears]

Got my Roadster back from its MOT last week and the airbag light came on next time I drove it. Car was delivered to the house and parked in the Zed Shed (not THE Zed Shed obviously ) so I didn't notice the fault straight away. Garage isn't open yet and I will call the chap when he does open but I just wondered if the airbags can be switched off manually?

You could always just reset it -

Or check the connections under the seat

They may have moved the seat and disturbed the connections under the seat, worth having a look at this first...

Thanks everyone. Will see if I can manage to fix it if it really is that simple

easy one worth trying

make sure you've not left a drinks bottle rattling round under there.........thats usually the bugger that sets it off!

Well, despite me recommending the reset option, (which initially seemed to work for me) my airbag light is now on as well. Irony.

I just bought two 2200ohm resistors from maplins and put them on the seat airbag plugs its a real problem on 07 zeds as they have a pressure sensor on the passenger seat

Thanks for the vid post saiper. i have had the airbag light on for ages (weird, as i started typing this a news report about Japanese airbag problems came on). i read how to do it before but the video made it much easier to understand. lights off now, yay!

check the connectors under the seat, disconnect and replug. Then redo the reset procedure. If still no good then you may have a break in a wire in the loom in the rear section of the seat. Luckily the seat cover has a zip at the back so not to difficult to access. Fin the break and solder and repair. You could get an auto electrician to sort this
