Airbag light panel is ON

[jobob]

Ok, I reset the module and got the steady blinking. But it didn't reset. Found that the driver belt had fired in the normal position (Must not have been worn when crashed). Bought used (Undeployed) belts off ebay. Just got them but they are stuck in a retracted position and won't pull out. I am afraid they are deployed and the seller just thought they were ok. Do you have to apply power/plug the belts in to allow them to release or are the deployed if they won't pull out when the belts aren't installed ?

thanks

If the car was in a crash you can't completely reset the SRS without either replacing the SRS ECU or clearing the "black box" info, which is stored in a EEPROM on within the SRS ECU. I have successfully reverse engineered the SRS ECU reset process and can do the clearing process.

As for the seat belts, try holding them in the orientation that they would be mounted in. There is a little metal ball that locks the seatbelt when the car is in a position other than full upright (this is separate of the pull it fast locking mechanism and the explosive pretensioner). This is the correct position:

Ok, that did it for one and the other I am sure is fine too..

so using the procedure above, I can't reset the module ? I got it to the point the airbag light flashed consistantly but then it gave me an error which pointed to the seatbelt. I figgured I could put the new belt in and reset the module again using the above technique ?

thanks for all you help

You can try the procedure and once the bad seatbelt(s) are replaced, you will no longer get the code(s), but if the SRS light remains on after that, then a reset or replace of the SRS module will be required.

I have a couple of different part number ones on my test bench (there are 4 or so different ones, relative to the year of the car, how many airbags, etc.) If you want to PM me your VIN I can verify which part number yours has, and if it matches one of the ones I have I can ship a clear one to you and have you ship yours back to me. The online places that offer the service charge $50 to do so. I would be willing to do it for $30.

Hello.

Some time ago I had problems with the code 14 in the end the problem was the wiring.

A couple of weeks ago, the srs light was returning to be turned on, but only when he turned the wheel, was paid in the next engine start.

Yesterday, I remain fixed, I thought it was past connections, so I went back to splice the wires.

Now I have the code 14 and 51, my question is, if I change the front sensor wires with the battery connected, the code 14 again, or should automatically eliminate, or scanner is required to remove it.

The 51 is the spiral cable, even should I check.

I appreciate your valuable help, I'm desperate for that light.

The 14 and 51 codes are both ones which will not clear on their own or by disconnecting the battery. Look at the first page of this thread for instructions on how to clear the codes, using the same jumper that you used to read them.
