| Airbag Red Warning Light on |
|
Earlier today I left my boys in the D3 for 2 minutes outside a clients house while I picked up a service book and when I got back in started her up there was a red airbag warning light on the dash 
I turned her off an on and even turned the passenger airbag off and then on again again but red light is still there.
I checked if any OBD faults but none just the red dash light that looks like an airbag next to the seatbelt one....
Any ideas guys its driving me nuts?

i find if you turn off the car, then restart quickly it'll throw up the srs light - had it twice now!

check the SRS connector under the seats I had that as well due to plug going a bit loose

Will check thanks - interestingly no basis OBD codes but I think you may need testbook for Airbag codes.....

A faulty transducer on my passenger leat belt reel had to be replaced to cure the same problem - it took 3 visits to a LR agent for them to cure it

I have just removed all the passenger and drivers side trim to have a good look at the wiring and found what I think are the brown coloured "Transducers" just under the seat belt tensioner. I unplugged one and the warning light (that was on) flashed but then stayed on when I replugged it in???
I looked under the seats and all the connectors looked OK and no loose wires that i could see so I am stumped unless the light will only go out when cleared by Testbook? I have no OBD codes showing....

Could be early signs your battery is starting to fail. The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

As stated above it was cured by the reset so I do not believe there are any current problems. Even changed the Steering wheel to Smooth leather without disconnecting the battery (let i go to sleep though - with Geoff's help) with no warning lights anymore

I thought that, but mine kept coming on when cold and after starting the vehicle. Apparently, the reduced voltage on the bus thingy can throw up all sorts of alarms. Goes away when reset until the next time. It might not be the reason, but sounds very similar to my issue. The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.
