Fault in communication with the passenger front door control module. Behind door panel, check wiring to it and also connects below the passenger kick panel.
Check you have no water ingress in the passenger footwell maybe ?

Other fault is a Air Bag fault, would have to look up which one mate

im sure i remember it said it was driver side airbag

i found water marks behind the door card s on both front doors i think i will just replace them

the airbag has me stumped but their is ohm logo their maybe the resistance is too high in the circuit

Hi,
Trev you finally got one then
Emergency tensioning retractor ign. circuit Driver.
I would of thought that it would seem to indicate to me that the drivers side seat belt pretensioner is at fault or the connection to it, though whether drivers side means left or right I don,t know as STAR is after all a German programme.
As the seat belt pretensioners are in the seat belt reel of a 202 it might be worth looking here first in the quest to extinguish your SRS/Airbag light.

Thank you andy yes I thought it might be that but I'm going to strip interior and check every connection and clean then put back
I'm not in any hurry to drive her I just want it right

Ill keep you posted on any updates

as for the interior all the leather needs a good clean and im going to dye the white leather again

its a start i am looking for a rear blind with switch im going to make the loom and i have the trim

i had a go today to change the passenger and drivers control modules as one of the faults showed that as i have a few spare and no joy it must be the connection in foot well

Changed headlight motor today and alarm siren as she being stored I cleaned all the inside

I fixed the fog lights which were blowing fuses due to water in one in going to replace both crystal clear ones

I only just released the car has auto dim rear view mirror and illuminated sun visors
I got the sunroof running perfect after some TLC
But it has a common problem the inner cover slides when driving open or closed a clasp must be gone

It's getting their a decat in soon

And full under seal this week
