What code has it logged? Interesting to see if it's got an 'igniter resistance too high' for one of the bags.

having determined that the fault is ,once again, connected with the front passenger seat , had a read through the entirety of the sticky on the subject
et voila ! someone reported that with the heated seat set at 6 the warning light stayed on, and when the setting was reduced the light went out ! so leaving the car with full sunlight blasting the seat must be affecting the resistance of the sensor pad in the main part of the seat wonder if fitting the 470ohm resistor referred to would stop this happening ! |
