Is an illuminated airbag warning light an MoT fail? Have a random pic of a flying Escort for your trouble.  |

Not according to the MOT Manual, ABS light shows to be a failure but no mention of an SRS light.

On topic I suppose and it may help, we had an airbag light on constantly in our saxo. Apparently, because my wife and I used it, the seat had to be constantly moved, this loosens the connection, over time, under the seat (you can see the wire dangling). A quick tighten of the connection and the light went out!
This is a common problem and an easy fix ;D

The airbag warning light doesn't only mean that there's a problem with the airbag system. The seat belt pre-tensioners are tied into the same circuit so that they all operate at the same time.
As Rangerbob said, constantly moving the seat can loosen/break wires for the pre-tensioners underneath the seats. Another thing that can cause the problem is if you keep stuff under the front seats, pushing it against the wiring.

It's not a fail. My Frontera passed with it's airbag light glaring away to itself.
(I'm just glad the ABS waited till a couple of days after the test to throw it's toys out the pram!!)

I MOT'd my Saab last year with the airbag lamp on - the tester never even mentioned it.

Cheers boys. I'm considering an ebay bid on a car at a silly low price because the airbag seems to scaring away the bidders. It's probably fixable anyway but worst case it isn't I could live with it.
