Land Rover Range Rover IV - airbag indicator lamp on

If the above-mentioned problem is detected, one possible cause may be  a faulty or loosened plug connection for the side airbag.

So as to exclude other causes of malfunctioning, check the periphery in the area of the airbag system.

In such a case, constant contact between the plug connection of the side airbag (Picture 1 position 3) and upholstery of the seat backrest (Picture 1 position 1) is responsible for the above-mentioned problem. 

Remedy:

• Dismantle cover of the seat backrest
• Define the marked area (Figure 1 position 2) of the seat backrest upholstery 
• (Figure 1 position1) and cut it out with a suitable tool (e.g. a cutter knife)
• Check plug connection (Figure 1 position 3) for correct fit
• Position the plug connection in the cut-out area 
• (Figure 2 position 4 and 5) and fix, ensuring connection is relieved of strain
• Fit cover on seat backrest
• Unlock the airbag system

This should be followed by an error code query using a suitable diagnostic unit (delete error memory if necessary) and a test drive to check the repair measures should also be carried out.
