Hi all

he came home and told me he clipped a kerb going across a bridge .Would this maybe just need reset

You could try disconnecting the battery overnight.

Hi

Hi all

back again ,this ABS light on the car i,ve checked the seat ABS switches all ok where would the be the next place to start

keen to get this light out

If there has been an interruption in the airbag system, even for one millisecond, it will always throw a fault code. The only way to get rid of the airbag light is to clear the airbag fault from the ecu. You can only do this with an obd scantool, but only if the 'clear fault' option is available on the scantool. Some scantools can only read fault codes, not clear them. Please do bear in mind, as long as the airbag light is on, the entire airbag system is inactive. So in case of an accident, not a single airbag in the car will deploy.

has anyone any idea where to start checking for the airbag light staying on

if I disconnect the battery I dont have the code for the radio

how do I over come this also .when I,m tring to read the airbag controller it does,nt allow me

Hello, try to disconnect the battery, or maybe some cable has just disconnected and that's why it is on, I had a similar problem, I turned it off and pollinated it again and the light did not shine, but I do not know if it helped me, but then it caught fire again and I had to go to the workshop, they said that one cable disconnected from the control and connected and works
