Thread: SRS light on then Bang!!

KLR isn't it at Kingswood is probably the closest to you.

G'day Moet

The "Rave" that Blknight.aus is referring to is the"rave" CD available from the shop (up in gold border at top of page) which is for various models very compresensive.

cheers

Sound like it was a wiring or SRS ecu fault because the pretensioner needs a triggering voltage to fire the charge. You'll really need to get someone to check the SRS ECU codes to identify the root cause of the fault.

LR revised the replacement age of airbags/pretensioners on the D2 from 10 to 15 years. That would make replacement for 2001 D2 due in 2016 - a few years off still.

From what I can tell replacement is at a manufacturer specified age, and I can't to find any legal requirement for replacement at 10 years. In Victoria the only roadworthy requirement relating to airbags/srs is that the warning light is not illuminated.

FWIW RACV claim they are yet to see evidence of older airbag systems failing to fire in an accident.

older airbags - RACV
