Good luck with it, I have a 2015 and the light came on for 3 months then went off, then again for a month or two and I took it to a mechanic and he reset it. It has been off for a couple of months and has just come back on again, his reader previously said it is a side air bag or pretensioner(can't remember)but told me to check seat connectors as well. I may go and see about warranty, but it will probably be a hassle as we have two importers in Australia, and I am in a different state from where the car was purchased, plus it was hail damaged and they probably don't want to know about it..........., I want to buy a code reader that also will reset the light myself, about $250 I believe, may be cheaper for one that works on your earlier model? The wires to the seat could detect when someone is in the seat or could be for a seat installed airbag. Seat belt receiver usually detects when seat belt is connected for warning on dash. Best off getting someone to read the codes to find out exactly what it is for safety reasons.

 

100td - thank you for that.

Well I - disconnected the Battery - removed the front Seat's - checked the connection's - checked for continuity from before where the wire would have broken from Seat movement and found all ok. Unplugged and re-plugged the connector at the rear of the Glovebox - unplugged and re-plugged the connector on the crash sensor under the R/h Headlamp - sprayed WD40 in all connector's - then a Suzuki Dealer told me that was absolutely the wrong thing to do. Re-connected the Battery - Airbag light still on i.e flashing 6 times then staying on full.

Got a Code read done - showing code's for the Airbag, ABS, Power Steering, mostly referring to Voltage (I expect the Battery had been flat on the Car for a few week's) - cleared the code's then another code read showing zero code's - in the meantime the Airbag light had gone off.

I expect all the time I spent on checking the connector's etc was a waste so perhaps better to do a Code read first - but I enjoyed the challenge.

The hardest connector to undo is the Crash Sensor one.

 

hi, i was just wondering if you knew what the source of the problem was, as i am having the same issue where the light flashes 6 times then stays solid. did you have to replace the battery? or did you just clear the codes? and if you cleared the codes how would you, my obd2 scanner ain't picking up any faults.

 

Hi harrisbrian690. When attempting to read DTC [diagnostic trouble code] information a capable scan tool is needed. Problems involving airbags or seatbelt pretensioners requires a scanner that is capable of reading "Body Type" codes. These are generally of the type BXXXX. The matter is further involved in that the second digit is usually a "1" that produces a code with a format of "B1XXX". The digit "1" identifies the code as being manufacturer specific and not generic. As a result of this it will be necessary to use scan tool capable of reading Suzuki codes concerning airbag/pretensioner in the form of "BXXXX".
