Hello I was wondering if there is a way to disable child sensor or repair it not really sure what it is but I've got a warning light and a fault code for it, again any advice would be brilliant
Thanks Paul
-
ill have a look in tis for it, can you pm me your reg please as well.
Cheers Paul :y

Well, you car certainly came with a child seat detector system....
Looking further....
I suspect a reconfig with tech2 to tell it you havent got one is one possibility.
Replacing the sensor is probably another
Maybe just unplugging and replugging would do it.
As It will be the Airbag ECU, I guess once it has seen a fault, you wont get rid till you manually delete the code with a reader.
-
Hmmm sounds like another fun job haha don't suppose you know where the plug is do you
-
Ive been searching EPC and TIS and found nowt of use yet, cant even find the replacement sensor!
-
I think its all done through a sensor pad sewn into the seat

Yes it is, and it looks like to even test with tech2 needs an enabled child seat.
I dont know if the config can be amended to disable it, or if that is even legal :-/
-
Typical haha
-
IIRC it`s fed from the yellow 20 pin connector with only 2 or 3 wires attached.
-
Right then ive checked my hand book and it says the light that's illuminated is my airbag/seat belt tensioner nothingabout child sensor so not really sure which way to go ??? Any advice would be very much appreciated :)

You need a code reader to talk to your car to find out what's upsetting it. Once the fault is identified you can begin to sort it. ;) ;) ;)
Capt'n Zok in Bolton can talk to your car as can I - as long as I have time to borrow my Dad's laptop. ;) ;) ;)
-
thanks for the advice

If you want definate confirmation, post a pic of this light....we can tell you for definate what it is.
if its airbag related, gotta fix the problem, then use a code reader to clear the fault to turn the light out.
If its a child sensor - gawd only knows, we dont have many of those about to play with.
As per the others, you know I can plug in and see what the complaint is if you need to.

i shall get a picture up as soon as i'm home i'm in ireland at the moment with work but seem to have fixed problem with abs ecu by putting original back on and changing oil and filter in gear box strangely enough.
-

As said previously it's your airbag light. :y

rigtht then i'm assuming that's come up and that's the light that's come on any idea's peeps
-
so it's not the child sensor then ??
-
... and that's the light that's come on any idea's peeps
as per previous replies it could be anything, it needs a code reader to diagnose. ;)
-
so it's not the child sensor then ??
no ..... page 91 http://images.omegaowners.com/documents/UserGuides/OmegaOct2002.pdf
-
yup, standard airbag light.
needs decent code reader tech2, "My Naff Code Reader" etc to tell you why it was on, and turn off if fault no longer present :y
-
do you know of anyone nearby that has a decent code reader ??
-
Ill happily have a look, not exactly close though.
-
that would be very good if you don't mind
-
that would be very good if you don't mind
or if Bury is closer ;) & I'm sure CaptnZok in Bolton would oblige :y
-
Thanks for the offer but if jimbob doesn't mind I'll pop over there it's only 20 mins away :)
-
course not, prob all using the same kit :y
Just get whoever does it to save the live data if they cannot turn out the light :y
