russj249 2 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Right. My airbag light's been on for some time now, I have plugged it in at work and comes up with this.00588 Airbag Igniter Drivers Side N9532-00 Resistance too highThe code comes back instantly after erasing it.I've had a new steering wheel inc. airbag 2nd hand that I've had re-covered, I was hoping that this would cure the fault but obviously not. I've had all of the plastics off too and can't find any signs of wires being chopped through or anything like it.I've done a bit of searching, and seems to me, people have changed the 'clockspring' to get rid of the code.Just so you know the steering wheel was changed, the airbag itself was replaced for another and also the bit that connects the wires inside the wheel to the steering column.Can anyone shine any light on this?

Dave Lea 4 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The bit u need is not in the wheel but behind it its coiled wire so when the wheel is turnd it still has power to the air bag and horn Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 but it's attached to the wheel isn't it? I've replaced everything right up to the 2 wire plug that plugs directly into the airbag. From wiring diagrams on autodata it's brown/white and black/white. And also the horn works fine, so i know there's power there Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Lea 4 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 the horn has a diferent power suply inside the air bag ring so can still work even if the air bag ring has gone Link to post Share on other sites
c3vrg 2 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Mine has the same problem , any idea what the cure was ? Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 lol never fixed it I tried a new steering wheel with new airbag but didn't make any difference. I'm thinking something in the steering column somewhere, but haven't been bothered to go into it in detail. Link to post Share on other sites
c3vrg 2 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 ahh ok thanks, i also tried a differnt wheel and bag , so perhaps its somewhere else. May be there is a control module somewhere in the car. Link to post Share on other sites
