Airbag Warning Light Permanently On

[MattMoore]

Evening all,

Recently bought an LPG Connect and I have a problem with the airbag light being constantly on. It's coming up with 2 codes for the problem:
B1934 Drivers front side airbag igniter circuit 1 resistance too low
B2234 Drivers front side airbag igniter circuit 2 resistance too low

What is required to get this fixed? It's due the MOT in mid February so I'm keen to get it fixed ASAP.
I've searched google but haven't been able to find any useful information.

Many thanks

Matt

Try unplugging, and re-plugging the plug under the drivers seat in case you have a bad contact

'Airbag light on' is only an advisory at the moment

Faults codes B1934 & B2234, Have indentified a short circuit in the wiring for the drivers airbag.

Firstly check the wiring on the airbag squib (clockspring) on the steering column & also check wiring loom connecting the airbag to the squib (clockspring) behind the airbag for damage.

As the fault is affecting both stage-1 & stage 2 loop on the airbag (Drivers airbag is a 2-stage airbag)' It is high likely that the squib (clockspring) is the faulty part & will require a replacement assembly.

The easiest way to confirm this is by removing & disconnecting the airbag* & read then codes again . If the squib (clockspring) if working fine, you should get these 2 fault codes B1932 & B2232 indicating an "open circuit" or High resistance. (IF YOU DO GET CODES B1932 & B2232 THEN AIRBAG IF FAULTY)

BUT If you are still getting fault codes B1934 & B2234. disconnect the wiring loom from the squib (clockspring) on steering column & read codes again & you should then get codes B1932 & B2232 which confirms that squib (Clockspring) is faulty

* Disconnect the battery first & allow a minimum of 15 minutes to allow the airbag system to power down, Before removing & disconnecting the airbag.

Thank you both for the replies, I will be having a look at this later on. When I check the wiring on the steering column and behind the airbag, is it just a visual check? Or is it possible for there to be a problem within the terminals?
