Guys, does the airbag light cover any other faults as I was doing some spirited driving today and went around a left hander a bit sharpish, the ACS kicked in and I looked at the dash to see if it had lit up (for some strange reason I always do this) at that point the airbag light flashed and then came on, I need to get a code reader on it.

if the battery is not securely clamped down it can cause issues
Yep, there is a connector on the battery clamp that serves the airbag system, worth a look.

Worth checking the wiring under the passenger seat, with the heat it could have been some lake that's let go etc...

Now thats interesting, its also occurred to me that my daughter raised the passenger seat to its limit shortly before.
