#1: 206 gti 2001 warning light id required please Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:04 pm ---- Hi, I have a yellow / amber light at top left of dash which is to the left of the airbag light and comes on with ignition and goes off but then comes back on and stays on constantly,
The symbol is of 2 seated people with seatbelts and possible side airbags either side
sorry about crap pic but it shows where the light is (top left)

#3: Re: 206 gti 2001 warning light id required please Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:19 pm ---- No but i tried that, the light stays on whether on or off?
#4: Re: 206 gti 2001 warning light id required please Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:20 pm ---- Looks like you have an airbag fault then I would think

there's 2 plugs under each front seat on non plexed 206's for the side airbags.
The other plug you need to check is the red one.

Loose wires is a flashing airbag light

It's a part behind the steering wheel. It's not too hard to change, but it's 'kin expensive if you've got a multiplex model!

You can't possibly say that without it being fault code read.
And it's non-plexed by the looks of it.

#15: Re: 206 gti 2001 warning light id required please Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:24 pm ---- Is there any way to deactivate the light without a fix because its irritating me?
I've come from a car with just front airbags so I don't really care if the side ones don't work.

Just fix the fault
You will care very soon as its an automatic mot failure from 2012 to have an airbag warning light on
You insurance company wont be very impressed if you start tampering with the safety equipment either.
#17: Re: 206 gti 2001 warning light id required please Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 4:47 am ---- Fair enough
What is an average cost for a fix of this nature.
If there is an average?

If you have checked / cleaned the 4 seat airbag connector plugs then the next step is it needs a scan of the srs system for fault codes to see why the light is on.
#19: Re: 206 gti 2001 warning light id required please Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:52 am ---- I pulled the red and green connectors out and put them back in under the seat and the side airbags light went away

Easy fix
Now you have 4 working airbags instead of just 2
I can't believe how simple a fix that was, well pleased I don't have the irritating warning light anymore.
There is also a white connector plug under drivers seat with no socket to plug into plus a spare socket under each front seat neither of which is correct shape for the spare plug.

The white plug is for the seatbelt warning light.
You need to fit the seatbelt buckle with sensor to get that working & possibly the bulb in the instrument cluster to.
What colour are the spare sockets?
