Not sure what causes ‘airbag fault’ message on dash or if it can be disconnected/broken?

You need diagnostics.
Somewhere I have an early type SRS ECU and the 2 sensors from the chassis legs, if you need them they are yours for the cost of postage, if the post offices ever re-open that is.

Every connection checked in the dash, bumper sensors cleaned reconnected, both fuses are sound.
Dash back together...

Only difference is now the SRS lights blink brighter than ever

Note : if you take your glovebox out make sure you refit the ‘open’ switch mechanism first
If not, the screws to get to it are inside and you will lock yourself out permanently. Like I did

Mine required diag to clear the fault before it stopped lighting up.

@stevebrookman is not too far but has a V8 P38. Not seen him for long long time over a year perhaps. Guy fixing his p38 died and it got left he’s had it years and years - guess which colour?

The airbag module will be the same so may well work on yours if he has a Nanocom.

The early SRS ECU's are different to the later ones with the sensors located internally. Nanocom may cover both,my Faultmate needs an extra software module for the early ones as I bought the software for the later ECU.

Where are the SRS ecus?

The ecu up behind the glovebox is bit manky so I’m guessing that’s one,
Other up in drivers footwell somewhere?

All are located in under the rear of the centre armrest, a bitch to get to.

Changed with the Thor when the side airbags came in?

Nanocom only has 1 section so guessing it does the lot. ABS is split into WABCO C and D.

Edit. Now I think about it I think the SIPS might have its own section. If you have the EDC it should do both though. I'll have to check next time I have it plugged in.

Nope my P38 made 1998 registered 1999 has the later ECU but no seat airbags. So later unit came in in 1998 or so. 97s i have worked on had the chassis leg mounted sensors. 1997 version of RAVE has no SRS section 1999 and on does. I am sure my older version of RAVE covered it, but i lost that when computer decided not to play and longer one day.
