My Airbag Warning light keeps coming on. it Blinks 1 time, pauses and then Blinks 9 times and then stays on. If I get in the car and start it up really fast without giving the car an opportunity to do all the checks it will stay off. But as soon as I make a turn it comes back on with the same 1-9 blinking. Can someone tell me where to start? does the 1-9 blinking tell what sensor it is? Thanks Forum!!

 

The 1-9 blinking is telling you something, but I don't know the exact answer, but others do. However, it's holiday time, so maybe you need to go to a Jaguar specialist. You could also try searching the X350 forum for "air bag fault"

 

Gilbert - this is a cut and paste from my post on 09-02-12. FYI I've been error-free for almost a year now.

I went through this recently with my '05 Vanden Plas. I've been meaning to post my experience, but wanted to wait awhile to make sure it was fixed. but do as GGG suggests: look at the blink code (a 2-digit number) when it first comes on. Mine was 19: one blink, pause, nine blinks, long pause, then repeat, then the light stayed on. Something to do with a clock spring, or "spiral cassette" I think. Put simply, I THINK (knock on wood) that it was simply 2 dusty electrical contacts behind the steering wheel. I believe donch61 and HBZ posted excellent write-ups on how to remove the steering wheel. You'll need a couple of standared tools like screwdrivers and 4mm allen wrench and the biggie: a 21mm socket (I had to buy one at sears, about $7) to remove the wheel, as well as a small packet of electrically conductive grease. Try to search for those 2 posts - but in summary, I took the wheel off (about 20 minutes) & saw 2 very small brass contacts at roughly the 5 o'clock position. They had a lot of dust on them. I cleaned with with a paper towel, also cleaned the brass "track" on the backside of the steering wheel & put new electrical contact grease in those areas. Now listen, the other fellows posted about removing the spiral cassette & cleaning it, but I did not. It was getting dark & I really thought this would work. I reinstalled the wheel & light hasn't come in again so far in 2 weeks, which is better than before. It seems complicated, but it's very simple. I HAD to use a small mirror so I could see the Allen screws on the backside of the wheel. I highly suggest that. Please note there are several screws back there; you only need to remove the allens.
