Replacing airbag components after crash
#1
Hi well I had a smash up back in 2009 and last two years I just removed the light but since the rules have changed the light needs to come on at startup and then go out afterwards. Important details:

Seat belt pretensioners went off

Airbag didn't go off

Seat belt pretensioners have both been replaced

So before I go further and replace the airbag is there a special reset procedure? In the Haynes manual it has some sort of 'procedure' but it doesn't seem to do anything. Basically it says to turn on the ignition and reconnect the battery and then to turn it off again and on again.

I have tried this with both pretensioners now replaced and the light is still flashing. If I buy a new airbag will it come with the sensor or is that a seperate item? Also is the sensor within the airbag unit or does it have to go on the bumper somewhere? Really need to get this done as MOT is in March! Thanks.
