« on: December 30, 2011, 08:20:52 pm »
Hi all about a month ago my airbag light came on with this code, 01218 pass airbag upper limit exceded, now the wiring plug on the pass seat has had the mod done already, so i cleared the code and carried on it has come on again today and wont clear down so does that mean i have to solder the wires from seat to floor aswell? any help most welcome  :happy2:

Thankfully my light has been off since doing the mod you mention, but had it not gone away this would've been the next thing to try  :happy2:

Cool. Update us on the outcome as i expect it on the other seat too.

Do not fancy chasing the wiring if it doesn't cure it.

Last weekend, I mistakenly nudged a passenger airbag plug on the 206 I'm selling and had the same fault.
Could not believe how fragile the plug was as it felt fully mated.
