On the other hand, it might be hard to release, trapping the wearer in situations where they need to exit the vehicle immediately. Once the wires are disconnected, tip the seat forward. Then if doesn't work, will replace it. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but there is a cable coming out of the mechanical unit which I think triggers it. The number of plugs will vary from one to four based on the build date and options such as heated seats.
I'd rather the airbag deploy regardless if anyone is sitting there than not deploy if someone is sitting there. If want that feature, you will have to figure out another way to do this. They just removed the light bulb only to find out that there's a backup light, so it only made it a little dimmer, and a little less painful. Copy the scan fault readout and post on here and we can help a lot more. This Service Information bulletins supersedes S. Finally I have some time and money and decided to fix this. The pressure mat and seat belt sensor is supposed to control the passenger airbag.
The Bentley wiring diagram seems to show the buckle switch and pyro charge circuits are seperate, but who knows. The airbag has to go off in milder crashes and go off earlier, if someone isn't restrained and slowed by a seat belt. I don't care if the passenger airbag went off needlessly, as long as it goes off in any situation, passenger or not. They are there to total cars not save lives. If the pictures aren't good enough let me know, and i'll go try to take some better shots.
This means that the ability to write new posts and access various member features will go away. Then, release the rails by pushing up on the seat adjustment lever. Mine would randomly come on every few months and I was getting both the driver and passenger side codes. Get your free air bag quote today!! Also, the wiring is different in those cars. You can also tape the now-loose buckle end of the connector out of the way. Many cars do not have this explosive thingy and still pass federal crash tests.
Sometimes, the bolt can become difficult to detach due to corrosion or grime build-up. But never ever heard of these things failing until your post. Observe all relevant safety information when performing repairs to the Airbag System. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but there is a cable coming out of the mechanical unit which I think triggers it. My airbag light is on, and it is throwing a code that says it is the passenger side airbag sensor.
If want that feature, you will have to figure out another way to do this. This way is also fully reversible. It might be very insignificant in some cases but it might make all the difference one day- hoping never to speak from that kind of experience. You can see the lock is moved over a finger width in the first picture. We are going to simply add a 100 ohm resistor into the system to make the airbag computer think the seat belts are always latched. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the nut to the left.
This means that the ability to write new posts and access various member features will go away. Reinstall the seats, reset the light and you should be good to go. Forgive me if this solution has already been posted elsewhere. You'd just get a Airbag warning light and then can try another method, like soldering. Once the mat was in the only person who could reset it was the dealer, we tried everything else including Bosch, carsoft etc. I put a multimeter on the plugs that exits from the seat belt buckle, but when I buckle the seat belt with the male part of it, the multimeter does not show continuity, which makes me think of a faulty microswitch. Any idea what went wrong on yours? This part is 14 years old and has seen 125K miles with thousands of clicks at the mechanical part the Buckle.
Also, the wiring is different in those cars. You'd just get a Airbag warning light and then can try another method, like soldering. Most of the airbag codes are just from a bad connection at a plug. As others have stated, unplug and replug the seat buckle plug under the seat where all the airbag connectors are, clear the code, then see if that fixes it. I'd rather the airbag deploy regardless if anyone is sitting there than not deploy if someone is sitting there.
Their durable components ensure longer service life and resistance to damage. The guy's printer didn't work, but here is what I wrote down: 00591 - Seat Belt Switch; Driver E24 32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent Can I temporary disable the switch and delete the code so light would shut off? I'm not convinced it was the right part yet, as I think my seat belt chime is gone. Unplug and replug it and then clear and rescan for codes. Now, install the New Pretensioner: there are 2 notches Blue arrows that must match the tabs on the seat. Copy the scan fault readout and post on here and we can help a lot more. It's a contact enhancer spray that reduces corrosion, etc.
It is a very simple fix: 1. The American-market seat belt buckle switches determine the threshold and moment to fire the airbags. To find the items you need, you just have to input your vehicle's particulars such as year, make, and model into the part finder widget and all compatible items will be automatically displayed. The passenger side has the exact same plug, just without a center, 2 wire installed. You may have to before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. He tried 3 different times and i wouldn't trun off. I'm assuming that might mean a wiring issue under the seat.
