Fiat Stilo airbag warning light

Hi,

I just bought a Fiat Stilo 1.6 three-door hatchback. The airbag failure/stop engine light appears when I start the engine.

I am told it is most likely to be a loose plug underneath the driver's seat. Can I disconnect, clean and reconnect this without setting off the airbags?

Hello Mark,

We checked in with the technical department of Fiat Auto Ireland and they told us the following:

"First have the air bag system checked with a Fiat Dealer to see what errors are present and they will advise on the repair. The problem could be with any part on the system so this check at the Dealer will save you time and money."

Hope this answers your question Mark.
