Air bag light?

[jop]

Anyone had their airbag light stay on?
I've done a search, but can't see any info.
It's been on since yesterday morning, talked to service dept, they want it for a day which i can't do till the week after next.
Im glad the dealer fitted my bar

[Notso]

Mine came on after I had cruise control fitted. The fitter couldn't reset it but it only took a dealer 10 minutes to do it.

Unless there is something wrong with the unit.

[jop]

Yeah i'll drop in to the service dept. and see if they will do it quickly.

[Bubbalucci]

i had the same thing on my old black one only thing was it got written off before it got to the dealer

Try disconnecting the battery for 5 or so minutes or just try turning it off with the key via key hole in the glove box.

Mine has been on for a month or so, it started flashing when I got stuck in a big puddle then came on permanently, dealer tried to reset but told me they could not communicate with the airbag computer, probably need to fine corroded connection

Houston, we have a problem..............

Given its a 4WD vehicle, the sensors should be able to handle a 'drink' without any hassles. Should'nt be too hard a fix at the dealer. If that were to happen here, the vehicle could potentially be issued with a 'non-operative notice', till the problem was fixed..........

Its also caused by disconnecting the odometer from the gear box

:evil:

[dlw]

There is handling a drink and being a alcoholic

I think it's the seat belts as they keep sticking or bad connection near the steering column, when I get it back from the stealers (2 weeks since the engine went) I will find the problem.

All the yellow connectors in the truck are meant to be for airbags.

Mine came on two days ago. Has returned fault codes B1477 and B1604 according to the stealer who had it today. They managaed to clear the codes but couldn't find any problems. They say it was fine on the test drive too. I doubt they did anything at all given the bloody light came on within 5 metres of me driving it. "We'll have to have the car again" is the best the "service" manager could come up with.

Its also caused by disconnecting the odometer from the gear box

remind me to never buy a car from you

You need to do a soft reset battery of for 30 mil resets computer to factory default .I am a cruise fitter and we have to do this on a lot of cars

Our light has come on 5 times now. Each time the dealer has rectified the problem, some visits requiring a full day in the workshop. Once they thought it was something to do with the seat belt mechanism, left hand passenger. Other times it has been a loose wire behind the accelerator kick panel but the latest one it seems is "low Voltage". Vehicle is booked in yet again for 5/9 to have problem fixed once again.

Is that the workshop manager Michael at Bun Mit's Bill? if so usually he's right on to any issues at least when I've had any trouble with the Triton

[bill]

Hi ArrowsWA,
The chap I saw at By Mits was Paul. Chris Allen used to be there but has now left. He was very good with my previous air bag light problems.
We do the real outback track stuff so the young ones at By Mts don't understand the conditions. We will try and get to a meetup sometime in the future when life settles down a bit.

Drivers selt belt pretensioner was replaced now no more light. Hopefully, it stays like that.

[tassietriton]

Now mine has come on for no reason at all!
Tried disconnecting the battery but that did no good.
Will take it to the stealer tomorrow.
I'll ask about the ECU program while I'm there and see what they say.

[Greedy]

Tassie, I just had mine done. There is a hotline fix for the seatbelt pretensioner but my stealer wouldn't let me get hold of the number. Give Mark a call at Australian Motors in Adelaide (08)81793666 for information if your dealer is no joy.

[tassietriton]

Hobart stealer coming up with all sorts of b$#@it.
Says fault codes are 'major' and that something somwehere is fried. Mumbled something about the wiring of after market parts!
They've had the car all day and want it all day tomorrow!
How hard can it be?

[Greedy]

Ask him to list what error codes he retreived? someone on here might be able to point you in the right direction so you can take aim at the stealer.

[tassietriton]

Will do - I'll post them tonight.

[tassietriton]

Fixed...so far.
Apprently some clip in the seat belt pre-tensioner had come loose.
Took 5 minutes to fix once they got their diagnostic computer to communicate with the car and get the right error code..or at least that's their spin on it!

[Greedy]

Hope it lasts Tassie. My light came back on today. The dealer gets it back on Monday for another round of lip service and bullshit.

[tassietriton]

Light is back on!
Went to dealer this morning only to be told that their auto electrician doesn't work on Mondays and Fridays!
Try again tomorrow I suppose.

[Greedy]

Hey Tassie. Mine came back on late last week. It turns out that they replaced the wrong part. So the dodgy seat belt pretensioner is hopefully being replaced today. There is a hot line fix for this which I will endeavour to find out the number of today when I pick it up. They weren't forthcoming when I asked for it last week. This time I'll just try to read the paperwork.
