Land Rover Range Rover IV airbag indicator lamp is on and fault or error codes relating to the airbags can be set.

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. 

Note on hybrid vehicles!
  • Electric vehicles have high-voltage components - risk of accident and injury (electric shock)! 
  • The high-voltage system is to be switched off by "a specialist trained to work on intrinsically safe HV vehicles".
  • All work must only be carried out by "persons trained in electrotechnical matters" (ECS).
Warning
  • Work on airbag systems may only be started after the airbag system has been secured in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions against unintentional activation!
  • Work on gas generators may only be carried out by competent personnel!
  • The instructions of the vehicle manufacturer must be strictly followed at all times!

 

Please note that such repair work should only be carried out by an authorised specialist workshop and that the vehicle manufacturer's repair and maintenance instructions are to be observed!
