Airbag Light on a 1995 TD
« on: 28 August 2007, 08:20:51 »
Hello All,

My Airbag light has suddenly come on for no apparent reason (I haven't unplugged anything or disconnected the battery).

From searching the forum, I can see that post 98/99 Omegas can have this reset with a Tech2 or cheapo equivalent, but I can't seem to find much information about earlier models like mine?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Pete.

Cheapo Tech2 can't handle your car. I'll need genuine Tech2 or other professional equipment.
Air bag light can be caused by poor contact in pyrotechnical seat tensioners, but AFAIK the early models like yours (and mine) have mechanical tensioners. Think you should get the codes read at a garage.
Feel free to report here what the problem was, as I'm having air bag problems at the moment.

Fairly certain that Tech2 (real one) can read Omega 95 airbag to find out why light on, and reset it once fixed.

Tech1 can certainly do it (with the Omega cartridge)

So that may be the part I should have changed then? I got fault code "31 - Drivers side ignitor - high resistance" on my air bag. Replaced the air bag today, but haven't tried to clear the code yet, so I don't know if it worked. I assumed that the ignitor was an integral part of the air bag.

You need to get codes reset and reread to know for definate.  Be aware, with the srs light on, the system is disabled, and will not fire in accident.

Is the squib a part of the slip ring? I'm a bit confused as my interpretation of squib (from pyrotechnics) is the business end of an electric ignitor.
I get my fault codes read and deleted for free in exchange for buying parts where they have the FCR, but I don't want to buy the wrong part.

Sorry about the thread hijack. Hope the answers are of some use to the thread starter

No problem, looks like I need to arrange a potentialy expensive trip to Vauxhall, unless there's anyone near Essex with a fault code reading device

Probably not (unless the TD is unlike other omegas). Omega B has a 16pin connector that looks like a OBDII plug, but it's not really OBDII
