Hello,


The airbag lamp has turned on after I went to a car wash (I guess the guys there have cleaned under my front right seat and have touched the cables underneath)


The question is what to do next? :)

1 Fault Found:
9439761 - Front Passenger's Side Airbag Igniter
B100A 11 [137] - Short to Ground
MIL ON - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00000001
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 1
Mileage: 263579 km
Date: 2022.03.28
Time: 18:09:20

I cleared it but it comes immediately back on...
The cables underneath don't seem to have any damage...
Should I disconnect the battery and try reclipping the sockets under the seat...


Thank you in advance!

Hi
Disconnecting battery will probably not clear the fault. It looks like a physical problem. Most likely wiring issues. Diconnect igniter and replace it with a resistor just to check.

Ok, If I check with this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c16S37sJ0qI) and if it's a wiring problem, what must be the resistance levels - something like N/A?
Because only the wires have been touched.
