Guest Glasgow_bhoy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Basically when you put the key into start the car the light is on continously until you start it then dissapears. (as expected with most cars i guess) But it now comes on sometimes while I am driving and then stays on. When I shutdown and restart it dissapears...

Thorin Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Only sometimes? Can we confirm which light it is that's on, the warning triangle in the middle? Any other lights? Airbag light stays on if you disconnect the dash without first disconnecting the battery, is it that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 When you say you "clipped the cables", exactly what do you mean and which cables did you do it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 sounds like the active spoiler ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 sounds like the active spoiler ecu That, or the speed sensor code 42 (my old favourite!). May have dislodged the speed converter behind the dash. Glasgow_bhoy: Check the error codes as described in this forum. It's really easy to do, and just takes a few seconds. When you turn the ignition key, make sure the immobiliser is off (i.e. car is NOT immobilised), otherwise the warning light might not illuminate at all.

Greenauto Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I stupidly did the cd fitting without disconnecting the battery and now get the airbag light on constant, is there anyway to reset it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyrick Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I stupidly did the cd fitting without disconnecting the battery and now get the airbag light on constant, is there anyway to reset it? Mine was like this once I replaced the bulb that the dealer took out when he did the speedo conversion. Try this, post 2: Clicky Worked for me!

Greenauto Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'll give that a go. Doesn't sound too technical but I'll get someone to check the light for me. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Greenauto: love the colour of your car (assume it's the one in the avatar). Is it standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenauto Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Cheers Stevie, Yeah it is my car in my avatar. Must admit I'm pretty pleased with it and most folk in the know always tell me how rare it is to see one in green. I think its got the class of black but with enough colour and depth to really show the curves of the Sup. She's stock for the moment and i think she'll be staying that way till I can afford a nice kit a full respray and a full smoothing job done on her. Stock Rocks!
