Airbag warning light comes on in Citroen C5 Diesel from 2010: Advice and experience reports needed

Hello, I had exactly the same situation with my 2013 Citroen C4 Diesel. The warning light came on and the fault memory showed the same fault. After I went to my regular garage, it turned out that the components of the airbag system were defective. As the airbags are part of the primary safety system, they were absolutely essential to repair as they can save lives in the event of an accident. Without them, the airbags don't work properly, and that can be fatal. These were some serious repairs, and I'm glad the problem was identified and fixed. It's definitely a serious thing, but don't worry, the mechanics know what they're doing. Just go to a trustworthy garage, get it checked and fixed. I hope this helps you a bit. Good luck!

Hello, thank you for your reply! It's reassuring to hear that you also had such a problem with your airbag system and then got it solved. Do you remember how much the whole thing cost you? I hope I don't have to blow all my savings on it... And have you had any other problems since then that could be related to this? It would be really great if you could tell me something about it. Thank you in advance!

Hello, sure, I still remember that. You won't believe it, the repair of the airbag system actually didn't cost me a cent. Totally crazy, isn't it? The components of the airbag system were defective, but after the visit to the mechanic, everything was solved, and even free of charge. And no, since then there have been no further problems that could be related to it. Everything has worked perfectly since the repair. That was a real stroke of luck, I tell you. I hope this can also alleviate your worries a little. Don't worry, it won't be that bad. Good luck with it!
