Airbag Warning Light Peugeot 307

[Russ]

Hope I can get a quick reply on this - I'm going to see a Peugeot 307 tomorrow morning & the seller says the only problem with the car is that the airbag warning light stays on. I've asked about it at my local peugeot garage & they will want £47-50 just to hook it up to the diagnostic computer.
Is this a fairly common problem (seen a few posts about airbag warnings on a 306) & is is something I might be able to sort out myself - any connections etc I can check ?

There are limited diagnostic tests you can carry out to ensure the ECU is functioning correctly, as well as continuity on the sensors themselves.

When the ABS malfunctioned on our car, it turned out to be nothing more than dirty sensors which were causing the air gap between the rotor & the sensor itself to be reported incorrectly.

If you want to post the exact model along with the year of first registration, I'll look up the test procedure for you.

Didn't buy this car so don't need the test procedure now - thanks for the offer though.

I've just got a Peugeot 307 2.0 S HDi 90 2003 and found that the Airbag light is always on and the ABS lights comes on and goes off and comes on again! Also one thing I have noticed is that when I get in the car after is been standing for a while and break for the first time the I can hear a clunking sound and the break pedel alsmost bounces....

please any advise wil help!

my 307 (52, 1.6 rapier petrol) is doing the same. ABS and airbag lights. I know i'm going to have to clean the sensors for the abs issue, but can anyone elaborate on the airbag light issue please?

Are thes fitted with pretensioners on the seat belts?

If so, I know a common vauxhall problem was a loose/dirty connection under the seats on the plug. A quick disconnect, clean and refit often fixed this.
