    Hi guys, i'm looking for a quick fix!

    I took my front seat out recently unplugging the cables beneath. This naturally puts the airbag warning light on. Seat now back in and cables firmly secured - how do you get the light off. Is there a fix like you would do an ECU reset etc??

    Thanks,

    Mark

    It can be reset via the diagnostics or an airbag reset tool.

    Profile says you're in Edinburgh, talk to Davy Kerr at Tynecastle Garage.

    I've got a B200 airbag reset tool you can borrow

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Thanks guys, the car is going back into farmer autocare to get retested tomorrow and they have said they should be able to reset. They have already charged me 363 quid to get brake lines done! To add to that the rear brakes are binding! I would have thought out of courtesy they will adjust my brakes and reset airbag at no cost. Let's see what happens. Thanks for offer - May still come back to you!

    Is this an MOT failure? Mine's been on since about 2003 and I've not failed yet, only had advisories.

    always thought a warning light for an airbag was a fail
    The cars in front are New MINI Scotland

    Ok, we will see on or around the 25th. My light's been on since my first service, which was in 2003, and all I've had are advisories on the MOTs since 2005.
