I was parked up at the local petrol startion when the air bag warning light popped on for no reason. Can anyone offer any advice on how to get the dam thing to go back off and what the problem may be that has brought it on in the first place. The car did have a bit of an issue turning over when I started it up in the morning when i turned the key it ran for a second then stopped, I had to turn the engine over 3 or 4 times before the car ran. Thanx in advance.
There can be few reason for this. what we can be sure is there is nothing related to starting systems.
there are several sensors for SRS systems. accordign to design of cars, adjustable seats has sensors for impact, position, seat belts, weight sensor for passengers etc. if one is broken or conneciton is loose this kind of errors can occur. try to reet it or ask dealer to reset it and check for error. i am sure this is a kind of socmket problem. once i own a bmw. when i moved the drivers seat back it cracked somethign under seat and airback light lit. i checked under seat and found that a clip belongs to SRS system was broken .fixed it by solderin wires back and reset light. that is all.
about hard starts, this is generally becasue of broken crack position sensors and intake air temperature sensors.(you need to be sure that your injectors are clean and intake position sensor is operational)
Thanks i shall try to either reset it or ask a dealer. As long as its not something dangerous i'm not nearly as stressed lol
if airbag light is on it is better to diagnose it as soon as possible. in general it is a sign of non working system but since airbags may deploy due to broken impact sensors( in your case which i do not think) this can be very dangerous. but play safe.
I've had the airbag light on in my beetle for about four years,I have seen a broken wireunder my seat.
