Seat Ibiza Airbag Warning Light Issue
Summary of the thread
The 2021 Seat Ibiza diesel has an airbag warning light issue, likely due to a defective cable or plug connection within the airbag system. This problem is serious as it pertains to vehicle safety. A suggested solution is to check the wiring harness under the seats, particularly the bright yellow plugs connected to the airbag sensor, ensuring they are firmly connected. Ultimately, the issue was resolved at a certified workshop, confirming a defective plug connection as the cause.

I appreciate the suggestion. Could you please provide more detail on which specific connections I should inspect? I do not want to inadvertently damage any components of the car safety system.

Certainly. In my case with the Volvo, the mechanic showed me that the plugs under the seats, specifically those connected to the airbag sensor, were not fully seated. They are typically bright yellow. Gently try pushing them together to ensure a firm connection. However, if you are not comfortable doing so, I would strongly recommend taking the vehicle to a qualified workshop. Dealing with the airbag system requires caution to avoid accidental deployment.

Thank you for the detailed information. I followed your advice and took the vehicle to a certified workshop. It turned out to be a defective plug connection, as suspected. The restraint system is now functioning correctly. The repair cost was 95€.

That sounds concerning! I had a similar issue with my Volvo a few years ago. The SRS light illuminated intermittently, and it turned out to be a faulty airbag sensor in the passenger seat. Before taking it to a workshop, have you checked the wiring harness under the seats? Sometimes, moving the seats can loosen the connections.
