New MoT rules - barney100

How will the new requirements regarding testing airbags be done? I would have thought the only way test one would be to set it off but obviously not!

(Edt - heading changed to what I think you meant. Apologies if you didn't !)

New most rules - Cyd

The only way is the same way as with ABS - check that the light comes on during the instrument test period upon switch on and that it goes off after a few seconds as it should.

New most rules - elekie&a/c doctor

As with all warning lights covered on the mot test,.the light must illuminate with ignition on ,and extinguish after a few seconds.This only tests the operation of the warning light,not the system(engine mil light is not included in the new regs).Abs,airbag,brake warning light and pas warning light are now testable items.hth
