Airbag warning light - pug 306..
Evening all...
I was just wondering what would cause the airbag warning light to come on on my sisters pug306 diesel? Anything that can be be checked at home before
going to the garage?
Cheers

 a big white bag poking out of the wheel causes it to come on
sorry couldnt resist,pop it to your pug dealer(we did)and for £20 they put it on the tester and tell you the fault,then its up to you how you sort
it,we got a second hand ribbon wire from a scrappy(4 pound) and bobs your uncle

Check the seat belt pretensioners wiring plugs too.... Can come off / get damaged, etc.
Also if someones take battery off with ignition on, apparently makes air bag disable. Well did on my piece of crap vectra.

Simply moving a seat that has been in the same position for a while can bring the light on, esp in french motors as the under-seat connections for the
pretensioners are pants.
or the drivers squib broken, plug fallen out, etc, needs to go on diag equip either way, if only to clear the codes and put the light out!

Wiring under the seat, my wife had a 306 HDI, it had that problem a few times - seem to remember it was the passenger seat, that for 99% of the time
was never used. Moving the seat disturbed wiring connectors.

deffo under seat wiring - my sons saxo had the same problem. The airbag light is also used to indicate lack of continuity in the seat belt tensioner
wiring. Dunno why they cant fit connectors that work!

Usually the under seat connections.
Try this:-
Turn the ignition off. Unplug the connections under the front seats and turn the ignition on again amd wait for the light to come on. Turn it off
again and give the trminals a scrape with a small screwdriver. Put them back together and turn the ignition on.

Brilliant!
Thanks folks, I'll check the connections under the seats. Is it a case of when the connection is properly made, the light should extinguish?
Or will it need to go to the dealer anyway to have any error codes reset/checked?
It's a W reg 306 by the way...

Evening all.
I;ve checked all the connectors that I can see, and they all seem okay. The warning light is refusing to go out though, so I guess it needs to be
reset by a dealer. I reckon Peugeot are on to a winner here. Build a car with loads of weird electrical faults, and then charge a fortune to turn
the warning lights off when the fault is fixed!

More than likely the connections under the passengers seat.Best to get some small tiewraps remove the seat, unclip the connection from the bottom of
the seat and reroute the wiring so there is some slack in it.Reconnect the connection and use the small tiewarps to hold the connection tight together
then tiewrap the wiring back inplace but leave some slack so when someone sits in the seat the defection in the seat isnt pulling the connections
apart. You may need to disconnect the battery just to reset the ecu before the light will go out.
Had this on two 306s that I have owned, both repairs have lasted 3 and 4 years without any problems.
