Drivers Belt Ignitor resistance too high

Featured Replies

Has anyone come across this? - changed drivers belt assembly and checked wiring up to the drivers footwell. Can’t see anything that is causing an open circuit. I’ve checked the rear drivers ignitor, but fault remains. I can clear it for 5 seconds, that’s all! 
Where is the system brain, as I am of the opinion it is a cpu issue - or is it something else

Hi the new belt will need coding to inform the airbag module its had a new belt, it would be different with a seat as is all you do is put your original airbags in the new seat, the whole thing is daisy chained wiring wise therefore any change has to be reported to the ECU via the airbag control.

Hi Steve

Thanks for your feedback - as you say a no-brainer. 
Thank you.

Hi Steve, I’ve attempted to code the seat belt to the airbag, but all it shows is resistance too high.

Do you know where the ECU is located.

Would it be in the passenger footwell?

Cheers
