This video will show you step by step instructions on how to make a DIY airbag tester so you can test your airbag without the need for an expensive airbag tool. I have read about resetting the airbag ecu, replacing it, replacing just the pretensioners, replacing it all. I don’t want to just throw money at it until it’s solved as the parts are expensive and also could do with resolving the problem swiftly, so am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to finding what the fault is and getting it working properly. I've had a look under the passenger seat but plug all looks connected up and secure. Seat belt hasn't retracted and can still be used. Curve the wire just before the resistor and measure the length between the other end of the resistor and the tip of the needle we just weld. I thought I might as well try replacing the side airbag sensor at the base of the b pillar but the airbag light is still showing on the dash. Disappears for a couple of seconds after ignition but then appears and stays on.

Of course, there are other possibilities such as wishing to use aftermarket seatbelt reels or you don’t want to pay for an airbag but you want the car to pass an MOT.

Depending on the car model and multi-meter model, the reference current could be high enough to deploy the airbag, which could be potentially deadly or harmful (trust me, if you never saw an airbag deploy before, you don’t want to be holding it when it happens)! If your not sure if either pretensioner is functional you can test them with a volt/ohm meter as shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsOM58mBM7Y

Once you know what resistance should be in a particular airbag circuit, then you can test the component to see if it is within tolerances. If 1 part of this system is not connected, there is a fault with a connection or the airbag itself, you will get a light on. In the US, having airbag warning lights isn’t illegal, although laws vary from state to state. In the UK, however, having the airbag light on or even flashing is an MoT failure, meaning your car can’t legally drive on the right. Also, in a lot of cases, your car will automatically disable the rest of its airbags when any airbag is causing a warning light. Which could be dangerous. So, here’s how to turn off your airbag warning light. It desperately needs to go for an MOT soon as it has expired and is parked on the road. I do not know anyone who would turn a blind eye to the airbag light being on.I am currently awaiting an opportunity to install my old pretensioner into the replacement seat and then attempt to clear the codes and reset the warning light. I will let you know how I got on. After this there are few options. There is a sensor under the seat to tell if the seat is being sat on, and the side airbag. The side airbag would be obvious if that had gone off. With this information, you can then test the component to see if it falls within the required parameters. I have been struggling to find information due to the sheer amount of different vehicles and all the results I can find are either for newer models or for pretensioners on the receiver stalk rather than on the belt.
