Airbag warning (6 Viewers)

[Jewellbags]

Yep , another niggle today - the airbarg warning message has come in on our 2019 Ducato based moho.

Any tips for resetting or is it a trip to the garage again ££££££

?

You could try the ;

Disconnect the cab battery negative for 30 mins then reconnect trick, it might work “ if you are very lucky” also look for any trapped seat belt tensioner wires under the seats.

Apart from that you need the software unfortunately.

Good luck.

Best option is normally a new Airbag ECU not worth pissing about with repairs.

Some people get lucky with the repair option but it's a chunk of the money for a new replacement.
Personally decided to bite the bullet and get a new one.

I had the same problem recently on my 2018 Fiat. A new unit replaced the faulty one in France and I got charged 430€.
I was told that the failing internal battery of the airbag unit damage the electronic. It only get charged when we drive. New ones are apparently better...

Check the cabling and plugs under the seats first, sometimes they become unlodged.

A friend had his repaired last year by iirc Crash Data on his 2015 Hymer.
I can't remember the cost but think it was around £200.
It lasted just over 3 months before failing again just before his MOT so he had to cough up for a new one and the repair was basically a waste of money

Did that , pretty sure all ok

Mine comes on after I've turned the seat around...there is a bunch of thin wires which like most things, respond to a jiggle...annoying for sure...

I had mine repaired at Northern Autotech in February this year for £132. I posted it to them and it came back in a few days. It's still working.

A garage can look at us tomorrow apparently. Just waiting for a phone call to say when to go.

Another shout for Northern Autotech. Had mine repaired by them April 2022 for £180 (with the guy doing all the work cos I don’t have the software nor the knowledge to use it.) Still going strong. Hope I ain’t jinxed it now.

My ECU repaired by Northern Autotech , (I have no confidence in Crashdata) fault B0100-49 internal error, internal grounding contacts on PCB corroded, cleaned and fault cleared , still good 10,000 miles and 2 years later. Crashdata can't fix this issue and recommend a new unit.

How old is your battery?

I had the wiring under the seats not routed correctly on 2 consecutive motorhomes, turning the seats severed the wires to the seatbelt warning light's once the wires were repaired and the fault erased, the light went out.
