Airbag Light On!

junglejustice · #1 (**permalink**) 11-02-2009, 07:20 AM

I know that it is more typical on the older 12 valve cars - in fact - I don't think that I have ever seen one personally that didn't have the airbag light on, but this is a 1995 24 valve car!

What causes the light to come on? How do I reset it? How do I service it and keep it from coming back on again (other than removing the bulb "Lenard-style"...)?

I am told you need the Marelli Tester w/airbag cartridge to reset it.

Goats has been able to do it as I remember.

Both my 24v cars the lights are off. I would try black tape (JJ style)!

I have the tester thus have been able to reset the light-- it goes on automatically I believe at 100K miles -- at least it did on 3 cars I know of (my auto car included!)

My 91 12valve displays and turns off the airbag light as normal. It has 195,000 km (120,000 miles) on it and did not turn the airbag light on at any mileage.

Hhmm... Thanks guys! (Lenard, step a-way from the duct tape)!
