Flashing Air Bag Light

Postby TieNN89 » Wed Feb 11, 2009 4:47 pm

Alright so my Airbag lights are flashing :(

Today it flashed all the way till I got home and still flashing

flashes 6 times then has a longer pause then flashes another 6 times ...

Got home turned the car off then back onto ON and the lights kept flashing so i took a video of it

Yesterday it flashed 6 times then has a longer pause but that stopped about 1min after on my way home


Anyone have any idea whats wrong with it?
How to fix?
Where to go? (Brisbane Preferred) How much its going to cost?


Thanks,
Tien

Have you tried resetting the ECU by removing the battery for a bit and reconnecting.

Otherwise there might be an error code in the ECU I cant remember which models have OBDC

Cheers

I have a similiar thread posted on the miata.net site

and a member replied with a link to this

which means my D/S airbag was fault or poor connection...

hopefully its fixed :D
