    Passenger air bag fault

    For quite some time now I have had a very intermittent air bag warning light come on after startup. This has now progressed to a hard fault and it is on all the time. On reading this fault with a Rovacom it tells me that the fault is is a B0020 Left side airbag deployment control :general Electrical failure - circuit open and a second B0020 - circuit resistance below threshold. This is a 2016 Discovery 4.
    It was suggested earlier to me by an auto electrician that it was most likely the seat airbag and that the plug/socket under the seat could have a poor contact - I have removed and reconnected the plug/socket with no difference. I am currently in Central Queensland towing a van and would probably wait until I get home before tackling any serious repairs.
    Does anyone have advice or preferably a circuit diagram that I can at least check that the circuit is good ?
    I could not find any thread with this fault but if there is one could you please direct me there.
    Also if anyone knows of an auto electrician good with Discos in Mackay, Rocky or Gladstone pls advise.

    Thanks in Advance

    Passenger air bag fault

    I was getting airbag fault for the same one. I pulled the plug apart at the connector and sprayed a contact spray lubricant on both sides of the connector ( get it from any electronics store like Jaycar) and it stopped happening on mine. Hasn’t reoccurred in over four years.

    Yes that is what I was going to try next, but I did find an interesting item from Land rover
    TECHNICAL BULLETINP037NAS1
    Which gives instructions on how to take the seat back of and cut away some foam to relieve the pressure on the plug for the airbag.

    Update on Progress: I traced what I thought were the wires from the side airbag to the plug under the seat ( the cables in a small plastic conduit) and pushed them into the back of the plug. The fault went away so maybe a fix? - not a very scientific one though. Will have to wait and see what happens.

    I believe that I have fixed the problem since its been some months and the fault has not reappeared. I found that the plastic locking tab in the connector was weak/ pushed back into the plug and this allowed the plug to rattle loose. Some card board to jam it back in and some glue to keep it there.
