Couldn't you use an appropriate variable resistor on the cars airbag wiring, rather than risk messing with the removed seats. Just turn it up until the controller says ok. Or am I being thick?
On the contrary, you may be being a very clever boy indeed. Makes sense to me anyway 
Definitely! It seems 3.3 Ohm is quite common, seen that on quite a few forums for various makes / models. Will see what resistors we have around at work, see if I can't just grab a selection and stick them in the seat plug and see what it does.
Will have to test this at the fish I presume as it'll need to have the code cleared to see if it re-appears, as it's a latched fault isn't it? Roger will be sick of the site of me!

Sturdy, did you manage to get the airbag light turned off? If so, was it an easy fix?
Nope, see this thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...KMud said:

cheers!A progress report on the seat / air bag light fiasco.
Simple resistors got rid of the 'Resistance too high' codes, but now we have 'Capacitance too high' codes instead.
I'm now thinking of trying one of the Kent-Moore air bag dummy load tools.
I found this useful LS1GTO thread about the 'EL-46841', so I've asked on there.

There's also GM Special Service Tools, and that gives these results for 'Air bag dummy load'

EL 46867
https://gmspecialservicetools.spx.com/ToolDetails....
I've found the 46867 on ebay, but the 46841 I can't find anywhere. The 46841 appears to be more pretensioner related than I'd like reading that thread, whereas the 46867 seems specifically about air bag dummy load. The L/S in the 46867 name bothers me, as it stinks of left side, but there's no R / S anywhere, so it probably means something else...
Looking at the 46867 connector though, it won't fit the plug under the seat, whereas the 46841 will. I wonder whether the 46867 is meant to be used with an adapter cable that plugs into the under seat connector perhaps?
Ideally I'd get hold of a 46841, but there aren't any I can find at the moment, although I could try ordering a couple from gmspecialservicetools... I'm wondering whether to try the 46867, connect it up and hope. If it works, I could then make something up to mimic the 46867, as it can't be that complicated, surely?
Any thoughts / wisdom / well wishes welcome! Apologies if it's not the most coherent post, very much just a brain dump...

Have you tried to get hold of the guy who owns the blue monaro vxr on vxronline?
He had similar seats so he might be able to assist
I think he works at a vauxhall dealer somewhere
Good work so far, keep at it
Good idea, I'm not on vxr online, does anyone know what his username is or an e-mail address? Else I'll go do some digging...He had similar seats so he might be able to assist

Either that or an Autolectrian.He had similar seats so he might be able to assist

You need to get this sorted as the new MOT rules means this will be a fail won't it?

Not that I'm professing to know anything...but in AC circuits the opposite of capacitance is inductance (basically a coil). However, aren't these things DC? In which case capacitance too high might mean that it takes too long upon applying a voltage across the circuit for the charge to build...but surely your resistors aren't very capacitative? Possibly the code is a misnomer.Simple resistors got rid of the 'Resistance too high' codes, but now we have 'Capacitance too high' codes instead.

Hope you get this sorted soon

I was wondering whether if the resistance is close, but still wrong, it might cause a different code?Hope you get this sorted soon
I'll have a look into that too

If you mean the Arden Blue Monaro, then I have a feeling he was in Essex. Badboyburt may know of him, if that is the case.He had similar seats so he might be able to assist
