Strange Faults - Video Inside
« on: 30 October 2011, 18:42 »
Evening all,

Having some issues with my Bora S3 and it's phantom/random fault codes.

I'm not sure if some of them are having a knock on effect on each other so hopefully you can help.

The modules of concern are below.

1 Fault Found:
00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95)
            32-00 - Resistance too High

Notes: -

I think the slip ring behind the steering wheel is broken as I can hear the ribbon cable cracking, also the horn doesn't work.

1 Fault Found:
00526 - Brake Light Switch-F
            27-00 - Implausible Signal

Notes: -

The traction control/ESP light is ALWAYS on. Pressing the ESP button does nothing other than make the light flash.

Even if I clear all the fault codes the light will still come on and eventually one of the above faults will show itself again. See video below.

VIDEO HERE once photobucket works

My first action is going to be replacing the steering angle sensor (airbag slip ring), and the brake light switch.

I also have a light weight Powervamp racing battery in the boot instead of the stock model. It reads 14v when the car is running. Would this be causing any problems?

All other thoughts and suggestions welcome, would quite like a fault code free car :)
