Hi
Struggled with this one...
So, among others faults, this Galaxy came to me with the airbag light on.
On a scan, came up with B0001...
Got there in the end, but was not easy...
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Video for the airbag circuit tester/simulator:

Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks, Luis, Sunday mornings wouldn't be the same without your videos, Cheers
And I have plenty coming...😉
👍👍👍
Amazing, the way you think through the process/theory of operation is mind blowing, I'm really inspired by your knowledge & professionalism👍
The best thing is that you always keep the repair cost minimum, which only an honest tech like you would do, great work Bro👍
Thanks for sharing & Stay Safe❤
😊
Oh... thanks!
👍👍👍
Very clever using the decade box to replicate the presence of the air bag Thankyou for sharing your knowledge my friend
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Another good one. Quite confusing job, but following the basics and ignoring the scanner resulted a good job.
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Excellent, well informed and experienced technical engineering.
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great, really helpfull. I have similar issue but with the Airbag connector internally in short circuit. There was some burs that can come in contact. The diagnose tools is bad.
Yep, absolutely crazy got the same fault on a Ford smax. Very strange readings on datalogger. But this clip was a great help in diagnosing this fault
☺️
That's great!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Right from beginning i was thinking the fault says Driver “Frontal” and the live data you were looking at says Driver “Side” meaning the side not the front, i think there is no PID available for the driver frontal, strange, anyway excellent repair.
Looks like...
👍👍👍
Thanks, this helped me find the fault in my XR5 Mondeo and resolve it, much appreciated :)
☺️
👍👍👍
Another great job mate well done! I'ved learn something for your Demo.thanks
😊
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Thank you. I solved the problem. Same weak connection. Cheers
☺️
👍👍👍
always a problem when you have almost a fault .. anyhow good fix and that's what you were after
Great work I was getting a bit scared you holding the camera in front of the airbag expecting 💥 👍
🤪
👍👍👍
You didn´t cut corners on this one . I would straight have gone with the resistor box . Weird that both the Autel and IDS didn´t give you actual values . Not the first time that I've had different values on different scanners but yours had the same readings. weird , really weird . You fixed it and that's what counts .
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great one yet again 👏👏
Thanks!
good video on airbags , thank you ...
👍👍👍
Had similar problem on my w211 , loose conection on the Alarm Siren . Alarm went on intermitent . Removed the siren and the pins where fine . But the male plug went on too easy . So i bent a little the pins of the siren and filled the pin with a little bit of solder . Since then no sporadic alarm . Great video by the way ✌
Absolutely... sometimes is all it takes... specially on systems like airbags, as they can be very sensitive to changes on the circuit resistance...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Your fault code is for FRONTAL airbag, your data PIDs are for SIDE airbag. There is no data PIDs for either of the front bags in this system. We often find people go off in the wrong direction when not reading what it actually says on the screen.😉
True...
But I also seen it where the PIDs are described wrong...
But yes, totally agree... got there in the end...😋
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@LM Auto Repairs - what software do you use to look up Ford wiring diagrams?
Nice channel and videos.
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Error code B0001-1A-BA Went straight to the yellow plug on the steering column unpluged it and reinserted it and the airbag light went out straight away. I have been looking for this fault for 3 years, It would only come on in the cold weather for 3 months. My garage had tried to find it but it would go away before they found the fault. Thanks for the help.
☺️
👍👍👍
Very good job !
Thanks!
Good video this, ive had exactly the same problem today with an s-max, there is not a pid for the drivers airbag on my FDRS or Maxisys scanners
☺️
👍👍👍
Very Good Video, I have that code on my mondeo mk4 2.0 Titanium X, The clocks on mine are different but same car. Airbag light came on once and it stayed on for about 30 minutes then it went off after I came back from the shops. 6 months later took it for a MOT and at the Kwik fit it came on again.
Did Forscan and it came up with that code. I think I will use the Forscan to look at the airbag readings on the oscilloscope But I think from your experience in the video I'm Just going to go ahead and remove and clean the yellow clip under the squib and see if the light goes out.
Thanks Again
👍👍👍
Hope you get it sorted!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs Guess what??? Exactly the same issue as yours!!!!
Took coupling off steering column and pushed connector block in further recycled the ignition and the light went out.
I've cleaned it for now and it will pass its MOT but to finish it properly I'll be getting some silver electrical connection glue and injecting the block after cleaning it again.
Top advise!!
👍👍👍
i have a ford galazy 1.9 in limp mode have you amy ideas the air bag is on and abs light and a bake symbol light and also flashing glow othwewise starts brilliant but wont rev above a 1000 revs it also says take to workshop
Scan the car and go from there...
It could be that all of that is caused by one single problem, but you need to investigate...
A scan is probably the best starting pint...
👍👍👍
Sorted mate nice job 👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Hello, nice job Luis. Really I was also confused as u when I see resistances with Kilo ohms it's really high never seen that before, why ford concept this boring airbag ecu. Kilo ohms in internal circuit !!! Really doesn't make any sense as u said I assume they make threshold for example to 3.2Kohm +- something or +- % whatever u catch it congratulations. Good job Luis from ur Algerian follower.
😊
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Спасибо! Очень помог.
No worries...
Thank you for watching!
Again great detective work. Have you ever thought of changing your name to Sherlock Holmes.
😊😋
LOL
Thanks... for watching and for your comment!

thanks for sharing
where did you find the airbag wiring diagram ?
autodata ? what the service data do you use ?
Hi
I have HGS online...
In this case was a simple tracing the wires... didn't really needed diagrams...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Good job good man
👍👍👍
Got to love Ford and their lack of data / info. The data value "Driver side airbag deployment control" is for the side air bag on the driver seat. Hence it not changing when you forced an open circuit or dialled in a resistance value. In open circuit state it would normally read approx 60 ohms and a value of around 5-7 ohms will bring the light on for high resistance. There appears to be no data value for the driver front airbag. They don't make it easy to fix the older ones!!
Good to know Steve cheers 👍👍👍
That's a fair explanation... and honestly, the most plausible...
Just doesn't make sense, that they put live data for all the other Airbags, and not for that one...🤦♂️
Who designed that?
🤣🤣🤣
@@LMAutoRepairs crazy isnt it......i have to work on these daily, it drives me nuts with the lack of info......you can look at one year either side and it'll probably be there!! just doesnt make sense
Please any videos on can bus or gdi injecters
Sorry blaming bmw earlier but it seems that ford too got your head around !
Good video!
Indeed...
Looking back now, would be slightly different...
We learn every days...😊

@@LMAutoRepairs Hi LM Auto Repairs, sorry to bother you, I'm having problems with my 2004 Megane 225 It's started to misfiring and the red immobilizer light is flickering when the car is running, it as had new alternator new plugs and coil pack new fuel pump and checked fuse board under bonnet all dry and fuses all ok, do you have any idea what could be the issue with it.. Thanks
@@cbrf4r579
Hi
Not being funny, but I am not a wizard...
Scan the car, check live data, and see what you find from there...
That can be caused by a few different things... I would be only guessing if I would advice anything else than the above...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
That ford live data is confusing if you manually tested it would the multi meter still read the same as scan data could it be that the scan readings are the biased voltage like O2 sensors have I wounder
Hi,
Very good video again.
But one thing, when you work on the airbag system, is there no risk ? Deployment?
Thanks for return and thanks for all
Hi
Depends on what you are doing...
Take care, and disconnect the battery if you don't feel confident...
Thank you for watching!
They are a pain in the... ford airbag system i am working on a damaged ( repaired) car you lead to so many different directions from broken module to crash sensor
Small side question. Looking for recommendations for a good newish laptop to install Windows XP and some diagnostic tools. Do you have any recommendations? I think the Latitude you use here is quite new but I couldn't find this version for sale. I don't think XP has drivers for many newer motherboards so some pointers from experience would be really appreciated!
Hi
I have over 10 laptops running XP...
Just don't buy anything too new, and you will be fine...
I bought quite a few on eBay...
👍👍👍
Thanks for the response. What did you do about battery life? That was the only reason I was thinking newish.. Did you also just get a new battery from eBay?
@@abeetha
If they are completely gone, yes...
Otherwise no...
Because of the way i work, if need to have the laptop running for too long, j just plug it in..
I don't do mobile, battery life does not bother me too much..
Driver side......is the side airbag i think not the front i think.I was confused by the same missunderstanding once on a vw.
Agree... but as you have seen, nothing dropped when I completely disconnected the steering airbag...
🤷♂️
Lol
Hi luis, been recently fault finding airbag light on astra h. Mine turned out to be the ribbon in the cim. I turned the steering wheel with opcom on and the ohms going up and down.
Yes... that's a quite common problem as well...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs yeah I read about it. Love your channel I find you're the best on CZcams.
😊
Thanks...
What is the difference between stage 1 and stage 2??
Thanks in advance
Hi
Stage 1 is usually by just remap the ecu software, without making any other changes...
Stafe 2, it also includes software changes, but also modifications to the car, like intake filters, exhaust, injectors perhaps, etc...
And you can just carry on modifying as much as you want...
😋
👍👍👍
Did you find out why you had readings with air bag disconnected?
I only assume, that the live data was never showing that circuit...
Weird I know...🤷♂️
Thank you for watching!
Nice! I have an issue and I will like your opinion. Where can I send you a DM?
Hi Luis!
Why does the scanner show resistance in kilo-ohms? In reality, the resistance values are in ohms!
I was about to ask Luis the same question as well, youi beat me to it lol.
@@tecnaman9097
And to be honest, I have not even noticed...
🤣🤣🤣
I immediately assumed it is ohm's... did not paid attention to that...
I guess is a glitch on the Maxisys...🤪
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Three different scanners and a glitch everywhere? Very strange...
@@engeneer_ru5827
🤷♂️
@@LMAutoRepairs The meaning of this symbol is not known to me. Or I also have a glitch in the browser :)))
I like those old fords but the only issue is that they rust away to nothing I like how they have heated mirrors and windshield
Yes... the heated windshield is nice...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs yes because the auxiliary power heater is very hard to find a car with it and it's very expensive
👍
👍👍👍
how do you remove the pins
You need to dismantle the plug and pry the pins...
👍👍👍
after i was wrong when fixing srs problem i always disconnect the suspected srs device and scan for codes to make sure i am barking at the right tree .
👍👍👍
Nice. how are you ?
Good...
Thanks!

The worst video I've seen from you. Live data clearly showing 2.18 Ohms. You increased that to 7 Ohms from 3 Ohms on your box and live data still shows 2.18 Ohms. You don't know why (and neither do I). Likely measuring the wrong airbag. You think it was a poor connection, possibly, maybe, could be. Dreadful. What are you going to say if / when the fault returns?
This video was recorded last November...
I know the owner of this car, and guess what... did not came back!
So nothing to say really...
You see, I could do all the investigation process and fault finding behind camera, and could make my videos to look like I know it all..
Guess what I don't, I don't know it all, and this is the problem when you think, diagnose and try to figure out things as you record...
I can't and never will please everyone...
I am happy with the way I record, even if sometimes it makes the outcome is something like this video...
The problem was fixed, one way or another, and that was the goal.
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
none of the live data showed the ohms of the steering airbag as it actually was, thats why he had issues finding it, it would set a code but no scanner could see its live data, the live data showing 2.18 ohms was not real data, and didnt alter even when disconnected, it as not a bad video, but showed the logic louis followed even when data gave him little help, and better than leaving it all out just to make louis look like a genius who happened to find it inside 10 seconds
