SUCCESS!!!

No more airbag light for me

Used a ~4.7 Ohm resistor and a 470nF capacitor in series. Job's a good'un.

The driver / side airbag would also work with those values, so can now start considering steering wheels maybe

I hope this helps someone else, such a massive relief

Absolutely brilliant. Well Done.

Progress at last

The bad news? Dummy loads don't work, clearing code they come back. Possibly wrong loads in light of new information I have from Holden service manuals.

Conditions for the DTC codes are as below for any future googlers.

Values are the same for RHS side air bag as well.

DTC83 LHS AB Cap Too High
> 550nF

DTC84 LHS AB Cap Too Low
< 390nF

DTC85 LHS AB Res Too High
> 10ohms

DTC86 LHS AB Res Too Low
< 0.6Ohm

What did you use to read and clear the codes, I just fitted a replacement drivers seat and im getting an SRS fault warning on the dash, i have efilive which isn't showing a DTC?

It won't Andy. The problem is in the BCM (Body Control Module) which you can't access. You need a Tech II, or someone with one, or is the Ferret able to get in to it now?

Bugger, Thanks

Monkfish have an imitation tool that'll clear the codes, that's what I used.

Is it available commercially?

Vaux Garage i spoke to wants 72 quid to connect to tech 2

No you can't invoice me for 72 quid

Big thanks for resetting my airbag light though Rog

Why did it go off Em?

Big air whilst driving Dukes pass on the Scottish national meet, came on a short while after that. Hasn't come back on since Rog reset it.

ETA: I think the code was something like drivers pretensioner short.

Whilst digging this thread up, I realised I hadn't updated it with steering wheel info.

The little yellow connector in the steering wheel loom already has a capacitor in it, so all you need to do is jam a resistor across it.

You can also use this tool:

http://1337vending.com/vzclustermod/wiki/VZAirbag

To reset the airbag lights, so once you've got the dummy loads in place, use the tool above to clear the lights and you're sorted. That tool can also read the resistance / capacitance being picked up I believe, so may help with further fault finding.

Cool info again James . In an idiots guide format, how do I do this? Where do I get a cable and where do I connect to (OBD port presumably?)

Some details on the cable:

USB To Serial Adapter (as listings expire etc, you may have to search ebay if the link below is dead.)

It was listed as "FT232 Brush USB To TTL Serial Cable Line Electric Adapter FTDI Chipset Computer" and sold by 3997nicola

(The TTL bit is important, as that means it's 3.3V, which is what you need, and the FTDI chipset is a reliable USB to Serial converter chipset.)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191549528240

Then you just wire 2 of the wires in to one of these:

Listed as "Universal OBD2 II 16 Pin Male Connector Diagnostic Adapter" and sold by qqlx_uk

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221461368260

They're both UK sellers, you can find them cheaper from China of course, but who wants to wait that long?!



Here's a very thorough post on how to make the cable. It involves soldering 2 wires to 2 pins. It's very simple.

http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5798...

Here's the website by the bloke who did the software, all very simple to do, promise! This includes cluster mods like HSV logos etc. and also resetting the airbag light (as in my previous post). He has instructions on there for how to do it all.

http://1337vending.com/vzclustermod/

I only included that link as well because the airbag tool is just something he's done as a separate tool that only includes the airbag related stuff. Since you're making the cable, I thought you might want to try the cluster stuff too.

Depending on which of your fleet you use the cluster stuff on, it may well not like it (the Ute for example) as it'll presumably have some different options in there that the software may not recognise.

The airbag system has been the same since the VT days though, they've just added the odd extra bag over the years, so all seems to be pretty compatible.

Many thanks for this James. You're a star! Will be for the LS1 stuff but I need to sort out an airbag issue with the ute too.

I'm all up to speed, made the cable up, downloaded the program and ready for some BCM probing. Thanks to James and the american boffin who hacked the system and did the software.

Set shift light for 6500rpm for TR.

Is that to shift at 6700? I found I needed it ~200rpm lower in order to do anything about it before hitting the limiter!
