Airbag Warning Light On Is220D

[peachy]

Since owning my is220d I get the red warning light for airbags displayed on the dash.

It comes and goes. When I bought the car it was on for weeks then all of a sudden went off for about 3 weeks.

Unfortunately it's come back on again.

Any ideas?

Is there a connector under the drivers seat? If I recall correctly this either needs a clean or a "technical wiggle".

As above, the adjustment of the driver's/passenger seats by a new owner can cause strain to the under seat wiring and connectors which may have not moved for years plus have the OBD codes read which may point you in the right direction as to the cause.

You need to get the codes read by someone with a techstream scan tool.

There is a minor design fault on the IS which causes the connector to come loose on the driver knee air bag but this is only one of many air bags and sensors so best scanning first to find the location of the fault, otherwise you'll be stripping the whole car.

It happens on mine,normally every time someone adjusts one of the seats ,it disturbs the wiring,normally goes off again if I move the seat back to its normal position
