Anyone Could Help With Sykes Pickavant Error Code


Best Answer jtammor , 08 May 2018 - 09:27 PM

Hi all,

Now, after all this time, I can proudly say that all my airbag issues are solved and my reader shows no error codes.

The problem was with the connectors of the rotary coupler, they had a poor union with the airbag. I checked all with a voltmeter and after that the ignition switch error went away.

I'd particulary want to thank FlyingScot that helped me so much.

Thank you guys, finally I could pass the MOT without worries.

You know you could just take the bulb out if the MOT station was worried about the warning light...

That’s common mistakes of new testers.... most testers are wise enough to check the tell tale is working.

No much point in having the system if it doesn’t work and it’s an automatic fail if found.

Yeah, but they could check all the ignition sequence with the bulb going on and off.
I preferred the right solution.

The link you share applies to the UK, I'm in Spain and legislation is more severe in this point.

Thanks anyway.

Oh Spain I see sorry missed that.

 

I have a modified dash with no place for the warning light. Even the place that failed the car on every 'mini' thing they could find didn't flag the warning light was missing.
