Thanks, and yes, what a plonker, I went for the wrong option! I just couldn't find any images or YouTube videos that may have helped.

Thank you J.R. for your comments. First-up I did connect everything back up when I had the new squib. That was when I had the Revised Code: 00588 Active/static Driver airbag -N95-Resistance too high I take your point though and maybe this does suggest I have a fault on the airbag itself. I've got some resistors coming and a second hand airbag so I'll try these. Just to clarify though, this is not a luxury model. The car has two airbags only, drivers steering wheel and passenger dashboard.

Firstly, thank you Wino, I've prised that grey shroud away and I think I found that airbag ECU. At this stage I'm not going to disassemble any more as I have some resistors and a second hand airbag arriving and will re-test. I've taken a photo and added an arrow in case that helps someone else. I've also encircled the yellow connector which goes to the Steering squib/clock spring.

Hi, thank you. I don't think it's a permanent code because the code text has changed once the squib was changed and we haven't had a shunt. I've removed all the light grey 'bottom' have of the dash on the left, right and centre console and couldn't see the ECU. What do I need to remove to reveal it's position? Thanks

Hi Seeking help please! Issue: Dash airbag light is on Autel Code Reader: Original Codes: 00532 Passive/Sporadic Supply voltage-Signal too low 00588 Passive/Sporadic Driver airbag -N95-Resistance too high Revised Code: I replaced the Steering Squib (clock spring), cleared codes and I now have: 00588 Active/static Driver airbag -N95-Resistance too high No wiring going to either front seat so no connection issues there. I have not performed a resistance test on the airbag. Current situation is I have removed airbag, steering wheel and squib so all I'm left with is the yellow connector which plugs into the squib. I've clear the codes and re-read, fault is the same: 00588 Active/static Driver airbag -N95-Resistance too high I'm wondering if there is a connection issue at the airbag ECU .......but I can't find where that is. Or maybe I have a break in the wiring somewhere but again I've no idea where to look. Any ideas? Or, is my re-test above invalid and you would get that code if you unplugged the steering squib and therefore maybe I do have an airbag fault? Thanks in advance for any help, Tim
