hey guys..

the previous owner decided to take the steering wheel off and put a boss kit, only to realise theres a different one for air bagged equiped cars (?)

anywayz he didnt end up doing it and just put the stock one back, which is a good idea lol but he said ever since his put it back, the horn doesnt work, and the airbag light is always on in the dash.

i think maybe his done somthing wrong with the wiring, so i wanna give it ago and try sort it out this afternoon.

any advice? whats the best way to remove it? also is there a seperate clip that connects to the horn and a different one for the airbag...obviously his mis matched the cables.

thanks

Haha, I did this just last night :(

apparently, once you disconnect the airbag, you need to reset the abs or computer or some junk*... try that first... I'm up to having the airbag light on also, haven't tested the horns...

As for getting it off, you are going to need a special piece of equipment... You need a T10 anti tamper torx screw... Took me ages to find one after asking mates and a few shops I go to...

Hopefully when I change the battery and reset the ecu, it will fix the error code comping up for the airbag...

*This is only if you have power on... I was listening to the radio while doing it, not super smart now that I think about it...

Well that's the whole reason I was going to swap mine... the weight at the top had broken off and was jiggling around and sometimes connecting the horn and setting it off...

I pissed that weight off, but I don't know how much fun it will be driving an even more uneven steering wheel...

Where abouts in Sydney are you?

the horn isnt my main conern right now, but while the wheel is off might aswell check that and airbag connections

from sutherland shire

is there an air bag reset that can be done, before i start pulling things apart?

Yeah there sorta is, but I don't know what it is exactly... it's some code, like you have to turn your key to ACC, then press the door button in the door sill 10 times in 10 seconds or something like that...

Do a search, it's probably here somewhere :(

THIS IS HOW TO RESET THE AIRBAG COMPUTER

First you have to put the system into the diagnostic mode. Here's how to do this:

From User Mode To Diagnosis Mode:

Diagnosis Mode activates only when a malfunction is detected, by pressing the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds after turning the ignition "ON". SRS will not enter Diagnosis Mode if no malfunction is detected.

From Diagnosis Mode to User Mode:

After a malfunction is repaired, switch the ignition "OFF" for at least 1 second , then back "ON". Diagnosis Mode returns to User Mode. If switching Diagnosis Mode to User Mode is required while malfunction is being detected, switch the ignition "OFF", then back "ON" and press the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds.

After a malfunction is repaired, return to User Mode from Diagnosis Mode by switching the ignition "OFF" for at least 1 second, then back "ON". At that time, the problem code is cleared

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
