Works.
Cheers guys
I've just done the closed loop blue and white wire airbag light off fix. Perfect. :cool: |

Check in VCDS that the sensor reads 'seat occupied'. Otherwise if you have a passenger with you their airbag will be switched off. God forbid.
The resistance value has been checked by others before, you need a 470 Ohm resistor or there abouts. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1507282055 |
just another twist that could be noticed with global warning !
despite having used andrew's fix of isolating the front sensor have been having a problem of light staying on when car left in the sun ; then stays off when the car is cool found someones comment about getting the problem when seat heater is on full and the penny dropped ....with the excessive temperatures we have been having this summer the sensor is changing value when blasted by the sun on the seat ... has never happened when the car is left in the shade ! |
thigh pad isolated all ok ,but light stayed on when overheated in the sun
latest twist .......winter arrived , seat heaters on full with both front seats occupied ...no problem supermarket car park , someone parked too close to allow opening of passenger side doors ; swmbo therefore jumps in the back ; light now stays on ! after 10 miles turn off passenger seat heater ; another 10 miles light goes out , so maybe a posterior is needed to absorb some of the heat ! so where does the seat temperature come into this ? |

The only difference is I did it further down the line nearer to the brown connector. Could that be why? I’ve circled the connector I assume was the right one to follow from Ian’s initial post. |
Evening all, is anyone able to confirm my previous post before I start rooting around again.

No offence taken….its a valid question seeing as I didn’t mention it :D
To confirm, yes the garage “cleared” the code but it came straight back. The error was with the occupancy sensor so we’re comfortable it’s not another airbag issue. Also, just to clarify I actually did Andrew’s “even cheaper fix” as I ordered a 470 kohm resistor instead of 470 ohm :rolleyes: I’m going to try again and take it back to the garage next week when he has time to investigate. +++ |
I think if you read through my earlier comments I also did a resistance check on both seat pads, occupied and unoccupied.
Definitely worth doing. +++ (IIRC they are normally wired in series.) |
Ah yes, I’ve just re-read Andrew +++
Thanks :) |
