Air bag fault codes Sept 28, 2013 21:18:39 GMT 1 via mobile

Post by nitros44 on Sept 28, 2013 21:18:39 GMT 1

Renault megane 1600 cc on a 53 plate.
The problem is the air bag lamp is on
The air bag fault codes were B1007 and B1008
The air fault code description s for the fault codes above we're
Air bag igniter circuit 1 open circuit drivers side
Air bag igniter circuit 2 open circuit drivers side
I have replaced the rotary switch/squib on the steering wheel.
I still have 1 fault code which is
Air bag drivers side igniter circuit 1 short circuit
My question is can anyone tell me what circuit 1 is or where circuit 1 is within the air bag system.
(Replacing the rotary switch has fixed igniter 2 circuit fault )
Thanks lads

I might not be the best,but i was always in the top one

More common on the clios. When changing the clock spring did you move the seat by any chance? Done that myself before and found the plugs under the seat were needing a good wiggle.

We've found on quite a few occasions that when the diagnostic gizmo says drivers side it actually means passenger side for us - the French don't make allowances for RHD. We've had loads of under-seat multi plugs work their way loose or lose contact for some reason and it's always better to check both sides just in case.

Have even removed plug and soldered so less resistance on circuit mate
