Airbag warning light issue

[marcel01]

Hey everyone, I hope this the right place to post this kinda query.

I have a 2008 aygo with an airbag warning that goes on and off randomly, at first I thought it could've been moisture related as a few times it happened right after rain. I got a basic diagnostic done and they couldn't find the source of the issue, they only told me it's an error code B1826 "BFS front side airbag igniter circuit. Open circuit.".

I didn't have any other ideas as to what is causing that until today, when I closed (or rather smashed) the glove box the warning came on again almost instantly. I suspect there is an issue with some wiring/connectors under the dash/behind glovebox somewhere ? I tried opening small lid in the glovebox, only bunch of random wires there, all looking fine, I couldn't see any connectors there though (apparently there's supposed to be one easily accessible). 

I'd appreciate hearing any suggestions/ideas 🙂

Check the connections under the passenger seat before doing anything more complex\expensive.

B1826

• Center airbag sensor assembly receives open circuit signal in side squib (P seat side) circuit for 2 seconds

• Side squib (P seat side) malfunction

• Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction

 

 

 

Floor wire Front seat airbag assembly (P seat side) Center airbag sensor assembly     check the yellow connector under the passenger seat, OBD codes have generic meaning, B codes are manufacturer specific - above is the code definition for the Aygo KGB10 2005-10 The centre airbag sensor lives under the centre console, in front of the gearstick

Thanks for the replies, I've already checked the connector under the passenger seat a few days ago but I'll give it another try. Are there any other relatively easily accessible connectors somewhere in the front part of the car that I can check ? I'm pretty sure something there must be loose since one of the times the light came on after slamming the glove box door

Remove the centre console, 1 bolt in the cup holder the rest is clips IIRC
