IIRC looking from the front of the car....

1  3  5
2  6  4

are you sure mate???it looks like 1 on mine is far right..its the only number i can see

[Welung666]

That's the correct order, if you can see the #1 then use that for #1

so it'll be:-

5  3  1
4  6  2

spot on mate...the beast lives...but eng light still on...is that normal?

[RobG]

Paperclip it for the codes My guess would be a trapped sensor wire or ill-fitting connector

Paperclip test it, but it may dissapear after a few 'clean' starts.

No it won't! The EML is on cos there's a fault, when you fix the fault the EML will go out. The ECU will still log the code(s) untill you have done 20 'clean starts'  though. 
The SRS/air bag system is the exception to the rule, if you fix the reason why the light came on it will still need to be reset.

right, iv got one of those cheap tech2 software and obd connector...iv connected up .read the codes . then cleared the codes...started the car up and no more light??this is getting stranger..i'll see how it goes...but while i was connected my air bag light was on for a bit so iv had a code read and it cam up as code 31 passenger side airbag resistance to high....has anyone got any ideas????is it the passenger airbag???or the one in the side of the seat??and anyone got a solution????cheers

does your reader show live data?  can help in finding the problem.

I had this on the drivers side, and it was the connector on the airbag in the seat itself......to fix, disconnect battery and wait 10 mins, seat back off, unplug, clean connector with switch cleaner, reassemble.

clear codes and hope....if you have live data capabilities, then you will be able to see if what you have done has affected the resistance of that circuit.

not sure what you mean by live data mate....so you think its the one in the seat????i'll take the back off and have a look tommorow...cheers

live data is getting exactly what the ecu is reporting....

I dont think  .....was just saying I had the same sounding issue and it WAS the connector in the seat...
