mossline 15 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 Hi guys, im wondering if anyone out there in Wellington has a tool to reset fault codes. My airbag light has started to come on again and my WOF is coming up. Im just looking for a simple temporary fix to get me through the WOF. Could anyone help me? Cheers EDIT: sorry fella, the sites PG not AO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 As above, reset WILL NOT fix the problem (unless it is resetting after tampering with the system - eg removing/ refitting air bag parts) The system should be properly scanned, fault determined & FIXED - this is after all what the manufacturers spent zillions of $$ designing for safety reasons & what WOF's in this country are upholding. Get it fixed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mossline 15 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 Spending zillions of dollars on something that BREAKS with upmost ease? Come on soft lad.... Its a bad design fault plain and simple. So many people kneel on their seats to reach for something. Im looking for a simple fix to tie me over. If the only option is to get it fixed I shall but when its just a light that is going to cause me to fail my WOF then id rather just do a quick swerve of the problem. Jono, i'll be in touch soon. p.s. sorry to anyone I offended. It was a fantastic photo but obviously not very cool if there are under 18's on here.

Chris, Hardly being a "soft lad" - & it appears that it has been diagnosed already. I have this situation frequently at work - "can you please turn the air bag light (or ABS) off - my car needs a warrent - I will get it fixed later" Guess what - the next Wof - still not fixed:- Hense we will not just reset a fault for a WOF Regardless of the design (& maybe floor in design - I'm not disagreeing there) the system is in place & must work to manufacturers specs. I do think though - the replacement part should be cheaper than it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
