Air Bag warning - flashes 4 then 5
Hi,
Looking for help. I have an air bag warning light. It flashes 4, then 5. I have taken the glove box out and cleaned the two blue plugs to the right and the larger blue plug to the left. I have also pulled the air bag from the steering wheel and cleaned the connectors there. Still have the fault. Based in Kent and really stuck as limited knowledge on Probes and cannot get it through an MOT with a flashing light. Car was bought as a project but the light has only just come on since coming back from being resprayed. Any help or advice appreciated.
Codes say… 45 -- front crash sensor, centre, incorrectly mounted -- wiring, loose mounting bracket, poor earth connection through mounting bracket, front crash sensor
Am I looking in the right place?
Regards
Colin

Colin,
Have you read the post in the Oracle, as that is pointing towards a front crash sensor or associated wiring?

It’s behind the front bumper

If it’s only become apparent since the bumper has been off, try disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds, put your foot on the brake pedal, reconnect and see what happens

Will try the reset but am not optimistic as I’ve had the battery disconnected for a long time already - just didn’t hit the brake pedal to discharge. More likely I will have to work out how to take the bumper off and find where the sensors are and there earth point. I think a bad earth due to overspray is most likely so fingers crossed.
That’s Sunday sorted!
