Airbag warning appears after moving the driver’s seat

A warning associated with seat movement gives the assessor a useful trigger, but it does not prove which connector or component is at fault. Record the seat position and any recent interior work.

How to approach the assessment

Do not unplug seat wiring, probe restraint circuits or fit bypass devices. A qualified repairer should investigate using the vehicle-specific procedure. The system may not provide its intended protection while a fault is present, so arrange assessment rather than treating the light as a cosmetic issue.

Useful details to send

  • Seat movement linked to onset.
  • Recent upholstery or seat work.
  • Complete SRS fault report if available.

Arrange the right assessment

This guide does not establish that a vehicle is safe to use. Restraint repairs need qualified assessment and the correct manufacturer instructions. A module service does not replace required component repairs or vehicle-level verification.

Ask AXION about your repair or read our SRS module assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
