Title: Air Bag Squib
Post by: edwardmickey on 16 November 2007, 13:05:57

I've had my airbag light on for months so decided to get around to sorting it.

During service this morning, I had the fault read from the ECU; stated squib fault.

Off to stealers and paid £51 for a new squib.  Only a ten minute job fitting it, but airbag light still on  >:(

It may just be that the light needs resetting with Tech2 (Jamie!!!!!)

In past airbag problems that I've sorted, the airbag resetted though.  Do I need to do anything with the squib when fitting it?  There is print on the squib's surface about rotating it 2.5 times to allign the arrows.  But the arrows are already together.  I have broken a previous squib by rotating it so don't want to knacker the new one.

Any ideas?

I recall Jaime saying that once an airbag fault is flagged, it needs to be reset.

Never known a squib fail on an Omega but done a few on astra and the like.

Normaly there set in a delivery position with a retaining screw fixed in place so you normaly simply fit them with the wheels set straight ahead and then remove the screw.
