Hey guys,

Have searched a lot but mainly can only find how to turn an airbag light off not on!

My r33 air bag light wont turn on, factory airbag steering wheel, the bulb in the speedo cluster is fine and has been swapped for a good one to double check, all the circuits are good and all other speedo lights work except the airbag light, and now i can't get a warrant to make it street legal here without it turning on

Is could I so a scan on it to get an answer? Or any connections etc I could follow to see if there plugged in right? (Even though the light should be on if that was the case?)

Just looking for my ideas if possible, thanks!!

If its a standard car with standard ECU he can run the diagnostic and see if it throws any Airbag related codes. If not and the thing is fine, he can always trace the wire back or dodgy the wiring to get it to light up. Doesn't it light up momentarily though, on ignition?

Airbag will come on for about 1~2 seconds as it does its checks, it checks for resistance in the 2x front seat belt pretensions, 2x airbags and crash sensors. Then once it's all good the light turns off..

If it's not coming on, there's a fault there.. Remove your centre console, see if the module is even there.

Then I would work back from there.

if everything is working fine and your using the stock wheel, why would you expect the light to be on? it will only turn on if there is a fault

it turns on during it's start up diagnostics

Yup

Module next to the handbrake > swap it with someone else's > see if the light comes on momentarily as you turn the ignition on.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
