Yes it has, I have taken it apart and cleaned the connectors with electrical contact cleaner and put it together a few times to make sure the contacts are clean, will be checking the OBD port connectors tomorrow, as my other P38 (v8Petrol Auto) Air bags checks out with the nanocom on that, so...

I did indeed HIC!

Replaced the ECU with a known good one from another car, still wont read it, will try ignition off and car started another day spent all day on this tracing wires, cleaning plugs, now its time for a Gin

I took the binnacle off and the lower bulb was dud, replaced with working and tested connection, but my nanocom will not read the airbag faults keeps coming up that it cant read the ECU, so I am thinking the ECU is up the spout ?

I will check both bulbs are working today I’m confused about the term cycle ignition and my nano con won’t read from the ECU on the airbags but I did update my nano come last night

does this car have a passenger seat occupancy detector ?this is a 98 car, does not look like it has seat air bags

didnt get round to it today, as have more problems with the 2.5 diesel, started another post to do with airbag warning light

All depends on what I find today. But good idea to keep them in order

I have a AWR5051 fitted, I think it should be JFC102550, I have both so no problem, but any one know the difference ? Its a 98 2.5 DSE Auto

Thanks, that is a job for tomorrow, along with compression test and pressure test each cylinder to see if any leaks back to cooling system

No tapping at all

they changed the HEVAC unit in 1996 (3 wire) I was told, after that they all the same (5 wire), correct me if I am wrong MaDbrIT

I have now bypass the matrix and off for another trip soon, see what happens, just trying everything before I start stripping the engine, like getting my other P38, 1998 2,5 DSE MOT's that's Thursday, so a days just checking it through tomorrow
