Daewoo Espero Airbag Fault

[Daewoo]

Hi All,

I have a '97 Daewoo Espero which has the drivers airbag light constantly
lit. I've checked the fuse and it's fine, I was wondering if there were any
common reasons for this such as a fault sensor or circuit. Is there anything
I can try which might fix it?

All positive input greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm posting on Vauxhall and GM boards 'cos it's basically an old
Cavalier/Vectra under the body.

Regards

Mick

if the light came on by itself then maybe a problem, if it came on by the
fitting of a radio or something electrical then it should reset itself
within a few days.
some Vauxhalls do this just by nature, when the circuit it is on is
disturbed or the system gets a 'pulse' down it.
might be an idea to pull the ecu codes to check
but i am not sure it is anything like a vectra only a foreign copy?

The airbag ECU will flash the warning light if it goes faulty.
A circuit or sensor fault will put the light on all the time.
There is a test point in the circuit for a dealers diagnostic set, which
is usually the quickest and cheapest way to go.

The same thng happened to my Lanos. I had it looked at the it was replaced
but I had warranty at the time. They did state that the bag will not go off
at all. Therfore, you lose the bag but there is no risk of it going off by
mistake.

However, do get it checked out.
