Hi
This van came to me with the Airbag light on.
After scanning the airbag module, I started to check the steering squib, as the error message was for the driver side airbag.
I couldn't repair the problem/ part, but in the video, I will take you through the process of finding, diagnose and test the circuit.
Hope you find some useful information on this video.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions please put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Very helpful, thanks for posting 👍🏻
No worries...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Thanks was very usefull

When renault thought it was clever to run a 12 volt supply from a 15 amp fuse through the clock spring. Haven’t they heard of relays?
😊
Probably not... lol

it is wise to disconnect the battery before doing this type of work as one doesnt want ones airbag goin off in ones mush
Yes... it is!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Just a word of warning if you're unlucky like me and own a mk2 megane.
After months of problems, clutch, steering rack etc, i decided to take it for an Mot. The day before i was going to go for the mot i suddenly discovered a lever under the steering wheel, never looked there before, decided to pull the lever and tilt the steering wheel up, airbag light came on!, ahahahaha, aaaahahahaha! I love this car. Not!
Incidentally, car had new airbag clockspring/squib 6 months ago!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's really unlucky...
Hope you get it sorted...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs I've heard that you can get products to sparingly use on airbag connections to increase/ensure conductivity? Is it die electric grease or something? Or is there some other product i could use, have you heard of anything? Cheers, Lee.
@@robbocop33r12
Yes... That's correct...
Silicon based grease....
hi,Peace be upon you
Is this a test fit for all kinds of cars?

Hi
Not really... e have explained in the video... depends of what kind of live data you have available...
In this video you said "we should get 5 ohms not much more than that" and in recent video you've got half an ohm so what is the problem I'm being confused can you explain please ?
Hussein Olivia
Hi
Tell me where in the video I said that?
Unless I was referring to the airbag resistance... not the circuit...
do you know where to get a new one & the slip ring are they easy to purchase.
kind regards.
Try places like ebay... otherwise dealer...
👍👍👍
What size torx key did you use to take off the wheel
I can't remember the size... used the one that fitted out from the set...🤷♂️
Sorry...
bjr g un trafic de 2006 et g le service allumé et l'air bag aussi g essayer de les enlever avec une valise diagnostic mais rien y fait tjr allumé g changer le contacteur tournant nettoyer les fiche avec du nettoyant contactac soufler la poussière mais rien y fait de plus je doit passez un ct et avec c voyant c pas gagner si vous avez un ou des conseille je serais preneur merci
Hi i have the same problem well the same symptoms, can you not check the clock spring through continuity on the airbag wiring say the plug to plug, the plug at the rear to the plug that goes into the airbag itself as i dont have such sophisticated equipment as yours but have a multimeter many thanks..
SooperSkoots
Hi
Yes, you can check it like that...
Many thanks for that i am going to do that in the morning, great video by the way very help full....
SooperSkoots
Thank you for watching!
Hey i did the check i mentioned and yes it worked, a new squib is on its way, thanks so much for this video i would not have done it without your help, many thanks again Mark.....

No worries, here to help!
Would a seat belt tensioner fault cause the airbag and service light to stay on?
hibernia-nation
Most likely, yes it will...
lmsvvavr Thanks for your reply. Will i have to now replace the entire squib? Or can i fix the tensioner to solve the problem?
hibernia-nation
If the problem is the tensioner, there is no need to touch the clock spring/ squib...
lmsvvavr Thanks again. Where is the tensioner located and is it difficult to solve?
The tensioner on that one I am not sure...
But should be by the seat belt buckle...
You see that the buckle has a sort of a tube with a plug on it...
But check connections and wires, in case is a wiring problem and not the tensioner itself.
I have vivaro 2005 no speedo and stop and spanner light on is this a common problem has my abs module failed I tested feeds to plus getting good positive and earth too
Have you scanned the van?
lmsvvavr yes came back with low voltage
Main abs relay permanent
lmsvvavr yes have scannned said low voltage main abs relay but tested feeds and they seem ok
clive smith
Ok
You should have more than one wire feed... depending on the module type... check them all... check ground.... if all of, it might be that you have a faulty module... or something between the plug pin and the pcb...
lmsvvavr yep checked em all all showing power and good resistance to ground a think the module is had it
may sound strange but you know this is now called a Trafic! does that sound right to you I thought they were Traffic vans

Hi
Corrected...
Was the horn not working also?
Can't remember now...
But it all depends how they fail...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs I have the same problem. Horn has not been working Esther a couple years before the warning lights came on. Fault reader gives code Df158. Strong indications about the fault being in colck spring, not pretensioners? Also line 2 shows 99,9 ohms...
You need to test, but there is a good possibility of being the clock spring...
👍👍👍
Pulled the steering apart for a problem under the seat🤔🤔
You have clearly not watched the video...
Or, you completely missed what I was explaining...
Either way, thank you for watching!
you are school
😋
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
and thank you for teaching
Bottom line ? What is wrong ?
Bottom line, watch the video...😊
👍👍👍
I did
So you don't know either LOL
🤷♂️
@@johnwalton6270
I do... and it is all explained in the video...
Sounds like "I am guessing" but "I think I sound Good" prrrth
🤦♂️🤷♂️
Erm erm Confused I don't know what I am talking about but good at guessing waffle too much crap could do this could do that
The video needs editing out all the crap
Should have gone through and made sure what "I AM TALKING ABOUT"
Your comment needs editing as well...
I talk about what I know, I get the issues sorted and problems solved... you like it or not...
With waffle or without...
Looks like some got frustrated because did not found a "silver bullet" video...
🤣🤣🤣
Have a lovely day!
Could be reduced to a quarter of that
