Hi All
I have this question before ,my airbag light is on and i,ve tried vag com -lite and can connect with engine and various others abs etc
the only one I cant connect with is airbag
does this mean the module is faulty and requires a new one and can I buy one from e-bay as I have seen them for sale
or does it need to be programmed
its driving me crazy

Re: air bag light on
If the airbag light is on due to non communication you should get faults in other control units that you can read .
This may give you a clue if it is indeed a faulty control unit for air bag ?
Edit: it’s also a M.O.T failure

Re: air bag light on
I dont think its a MOT failure
i,m trying to find out Dc connections for the airbag module
all other modules are good just cant connect to that module

Re: air bag light on
I think your wrong there, see here as these cars don’t have the function to indicate the passenger air bag is turned off it just indicates a fault.
7.1.6. Supplementary restraint system (SRS)
The SRS MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) should only be failed if it is indicating a system malfunction. A lamp illuminated to indicate the passenger airbag is disabled is not to be regarded as a defect.
Warning messages on dashboard displays are not a defect in their own right, but may assist the tester in determining that the warning lamp is illuminated because a malfunction exists.
Defect Category
(a) An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction Major
Taken directly from the mot inspection manual
