Hi boys and girls, I am after a little bit of help . I have replaced my steering wheel with a different one without an airbag and have put a resistor in the loom to keep the airbag light off . This was a while ago and was perfect until a few days ago when I was fault finding why my horn does not work and I unplugged the air bag connection with the battery connected hence putting the light on . I have opcom and tried a reset a few times with no luck then a search on here and I think someone said try the astra g setting and still no luck, I then decided to try j Davy vauxhall in basingstoke and they have refuesed to help . Has anyone any helpful ideas as my car is out of mot and I'm missing her. Thanks muchly. Jim.

I need to get an old XP laptop to get my opcom to work, as I have tried my patience with Win7 and opcom and given up. I did the same, accidently earth out the seatbelt loom doing something and the airbag light is on.

 

Can you see the resistance of the seatbelt pretensioners and steering wheel on the opcom, to check it not seeing open circuit or low resistance , thus reactivating the fault code?

I should have mentioned I have a few codes thrown up then I started playing about oops. There were driver and passenger circuit low resistance faults as well as squib code not programmed and squib code mismatch. This all came up from the min I disconnected the loom and the light has never been on even without the squib ... What a silly mistake. My laptop is on vista I think.

If it is low resistance what could be causing this do you think the resistor I put in is now duff?

Also if your airbag light is on and my opcom can help you I'm willing to meet u to reset yours if that helps you.

My squib developed a fault , so I got that fixed by Back on track and they cleared the light. But later while removing the speaker panel I grounded the loom for the tensioner ( now has a dummy resistor in place ) by mistake down to chassis earth and the light is back.

 

The VX is back there this month for the mot, so I expect they will check it and clear. I just need to book it in.

 

I should get round to sorting out opcom and get it working as I need it to do ecu security programming and unpairing ecu's

It happens so easy. I have no problems with any mechanical work but I'm new with the likes of opcom and playing about with the laptop. It's all a learning curve but I'm sure I will get it .

All sorted , reprogrammed using astra g setting on opcom turns out I never did it quite right the first time. Yay.
