Aftermarket Wheel & Airbag Light


Recommended Posts

I've recently fitted an OMP steering wheel to replace my standard one and the airbag light has obviously appeared! The wheel came with a 2ohms resistor which I fitted to the airbag leads, but for some reason this hasn't got rid of the light on the dash.

Am I doing something wrong or have I got the wrong resistor?

I know this topic has been covered a few times before, but having read most of them, they haven't given me a definitive answer.

Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the steering wheel?

The light will stay on until the fault code has been cleared, even with the resistor fitted :thumbdown:

You may also fail your MOT as the airbag needs to be present and fitted on the vehicle at the time of the test, unless you have a friendly MOT man..... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looks like I'll have to swap back for MOT time, or give it my friendly tester :ph34r:

I also found this that should help, especially with my horn constantly going off to the point where I've had to remove the fuse! :doh:http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/60350-fitting-boss-kit-for-lupo/
