Airbag and Braking Fault?

Post by NewbieDanii*-* »

I have just brought a 206cc Quiksilver 1.6 and I have 2 faults keep coming up I have only had it 2 weeks its been taken back to the garage and they say they can't find anything wrong with it! I'm lost at what the problem is! If anybody could give me an idea at what the problem could be it would be much appreciated thanks. X

Do you want to tell us more about the two faults?

My guess is you have an airbag light on ... if so the garage must be using the wrong diagnostic system. Pug's are a bit funny about these and not all produce the right output and show the codes. You really need PlanetPeugeot to read the codes properly.

Is the brake problem another warning light or is the actual braking at fault?

Also, which year is the car ... ??

The airbag lights come on and then it reads 'passenger airbag fault airbag deactivated' the airbag is switched on then once my engine is switched off and I come back its gone! The braking fault read 'braking fault' didn't catch the light to see if it come on or not! Its an 04 plate!

How old is the battery, and is it the right one for the car? Spurious faults appear when the battery is no longer up to the job so I'd check that first.
