G'day Tibs/ fellas.
As my dash SRS light is also illuminated all the time now on a 2004 160 with only 27000kms, if I can't put the fault light out with checking the wiring under the seats, where is the main SRS brain box? If that also fails, I s'pose I'll need to pop the steering wheel air bag and check the connections there as well.
Thanks for any info re this, and I wonder if there is a comprehensive 'How To" re the bloody SRS fault which seems to be very common.
Best wishes all.

The SRS problem.
There are 3 main sources of popping the light on. 2 connections under the seats to the pre tensioners and the rotary coupler behind the steering wheel.

Usually the light will come on after someone has adjusted one of the seats. The cure is to improve the connections. I used bullet connectors to replace the poor quality OEM plugs.

Sometimes if the steering wheel has been off the ribbon inside the rotary coupler gets damaged and the light comes on. This is usually accompanied by the horn failing.(uses the same ribbon). You will need to replace the coupler to cure.

If you take off the steering wheel you should ensure that the rotary coupler cannot rotate from its initial position.

The ecu is behind the centre console, with the alarm ecu.

Does this gem work on a MGF mk1 1999?
Tommy

Yes. The T300 will work on any car that has a diagnostic port. It even comes with multiple adapters to fit many different cars.
The only extra kit you need is the switched lead from Technozen on ebay to do fault codes and key fobs with the same lead.

OK
They are on the market now for round Gbp 100.
I have 2 OBD readers (does NOT work)
Thank You
Tommy

Yes £100 ish now. One visit to a garage to read your fault codes or get a new fob coded to your car would cost nearly the same.

Hi Tommy

Have a look on here

It's where I got mine. Most prices are US Dollars, pic one with included p & p

Check the version number offered before buying.

Will it talk to a pektron scu.As anybody attempted?two scenarios
If you have a working fob program another 2nd fob either with or without the 22 digit.

Where all fobs have been lost.will it retrieve a eka from the pektron Like testbook or will it remain in lock up.

In theory, they will code pektrons, but Technozen is the guy to talk to for specifics. (on .org only unfortunately)

Good on you David.
Thanks for the info.
