BH5 airbag light on.

Okay, so the other day dad moved the car, and then all of a sudden airbag light came on, hasn\'t gone off since(except when no power to ignition obviously) it\'s not the clock spring as the horn still works. The airbag light never came on before like that. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Or any way I could self check to see what \'codes\' it spits out? Does the OBDII stuff have access to read airbag stuff?

disconnect battery for a bit to reset it and see if it comes back on.

Could still be the clock spring as there is a few wires in there ans it only takes one to be broken.

Yeah; disconnected it last night; still on today. Man you just had to make me sad with the \'it could still be the clock spring\' I checked the wires under seats; they\'re fine, still connected. The cars only done 167 thousand km\'s, is that a stage where the electrics start breaking too? Lol

they certainly are not a leone

there is a way to check the airbag fault codes ( but i dont know what it is ) but an OBD2 reader should be able to.

Haha, I would love a leone, much less to go wrong! Yeah; I found a video that said to check airbag/abs faults join pins 4 and 9 on the obdII connector(with a nappy pin or something). But then I have to find out what those codes mean T.T also, I don\'t want to do that as the vid was for a honda accord, and I\'m not sure how universal things are.

Need a few things for a wof that I\'ll probably need to get done at a garage(for lack of proper tools I.e. pressed suspension bush, and wheel alignment after tie rod end swapped) so I\'d get the garage to check codes on the airbags while they\'re at it.

Okay, so I pulled the dash apart today, and the drivers airbag off(dw, battery was disconnected) wires to clock spring were still fine, and as the horn works I\'ve ruled that out. Tried dosconnecting abc(airbag control) unit for a bit to see if it\'d lose power, no. So I\'m now at the safe assumption one of the collision sensors have shat themselves. As all the wiring is still in tact. Though it may be a seat sensor; however I\'m not sure I\'ll probably have to take it into a subaru dealer but I\'m not sure how useful the nelson subaru dealership is. As I know they don\'t sell parts, so whether they have tools to check or not.
