Title: Disable the Airbag warning light correctly
Post by: SJKOO01 on 20 September 2010, 20:10:08
I'll be in the process of putting some aftermarket seats in my project car (another mig).  However these don't have airbags in the seats, and I would like to disabled the error warning on the seat side, but still have it working for the steering & passenger side airbag.

I'm assuming the small yellow two-wired plug is to do with the seat airbags, and if so, can anyone advise if I can put in a resister or diode, or what ever I need to fool the ecu into thinking the seats have airbags, and so cancel the airbag light.
If so, what would the resister/diode rating need to be ?.

I'm not into electronics so not too complicated with the explanation please - Thanks.

Another way to do it would be to replace the airbag e.c.u. (mounted in the centre of the car, under the centre console/armrest area), with one from a lower spec car that doesn't have seat airbags.

Also, knowing GM, and the fact that Siemens make most, if not, all of GM's SRS systems I guess other models may have suitable systems.

This sounds like the way to go forward then. By using a pre miniface Airbag ecu.  :y

I think the seatbelt pretensioners are different, so may not work...

each airbag circuit normally runs at about 2.5 ohms resistance.

Erm... didn't think about the pre-tensioners side of it.

Well, have nothing to lose by getting a spare yellow plug & putting a 2.5 resister across the leads, and see if the airbag light lights up.  If it does, guess I'll have to reset, and try something else.  :-?
