2006 facelift 2.5, 69k miles
I have the dreaded airbag light
Codes 93B4 (drivers airbag, Stage 2) and 93A8 (drivers airbag, Stage 1)
Background history - Car started to have starting issues a couple of weeks ago in that it would take a number of turns of the key to get the starter to turn over and then at other times it would turn over on first turn of the key as usual.
Knowing that the battery can cause all sorts of strange issues I had it tested but was fine. Then the airbag light was thrown last week. So I replaced the ignition starter switch, which has solved the starting issue but as the ignition switch can also cause all sorts of strange things I was hoping that when I cancelled the error using a C310+ it would be back to normal, but no luck.
The c310+ tells me the code is cancelled but the light doesn't go out on the dash and on rescanning the code errors are back, so obviously there is fault somewhere in the system.
FYI, the c310+ reports a comm error and cannot access the sbsl or sbsr.
Tomorrow I'm going to check the connectors under the seats and then the airbag connectors in the door cards as I did have the cards off a few years ago when fitting extra door speakers. I have thoughts it might be the clock spring (horn is working) and am going to take the wheel off and clean up the connections. Or is it a module that has gone bad?
Any help/ideas as to the cause and repair greatly appreciated.
