Just recently bought a 2005 x-type jaguar and the air bag light is on
I was told the problem is the clock switch.
Will the air bags still work if this is the problem
How hard is it to replace and where can I find a replacement part

 

Welcome to the forum dontag,

Hi Dontag, I have the same problem with my 2007 X-Type on occasions,did you manage to find a solution?
When I took this up with my local Jaguarship in Queensland,they said it was because my wife was too light and she should put some weight on!They said it isn't detecting anyone in the front seat! I thought,what sort of fool do they think I am?
Anyway,it still happens on irregular moments but I would be interested if you've found a solution.
Regards John

 

The dealer told me it was the clock spring.
Waiting on the part to see if that solves the problem

 

I can sympathise with anyone having Airbag issues. It took me six months to troubleshoot mine!

The SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) has become ever more complex on all Jaguar models almost to the point of needing dealer level diagnostics to be able to repair it. Here's the schematic of the components in your X-Type:



(click on the image to enlarge it)

As you can see there's a lot of sensors which can trigger the dash Airbag warning light or the PAD Passenger Air Bag Deactivation) indicator.

The first thing to check is 'normal' behaviour. The SRS completes a self check when the ignition is switched on:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
2. Observe the airbag warning light function
3. Warning light ON solid for six seconds
4. Warning light goes off and stays off

If there's a fault on the system, the following occurs:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
2. Observe the airbag warning light function
3, Warning light ON solid for six seconds
4. Warning light goes off for two seconds
5. Warning light flashes the appropriate number of times for the fault logged
6. Warning light goes off for two seconds
7. The sequence is repeated five times
8. Warning light stays ON until the ignition is switched OFF

The flashes in (5) may appear random but they are showing Flash (sometimes known as Blink) Codes which gives information on the fault.

For example, my issue was Flash Code 17 shown as lamp ON for one occurence of 0.5 seconds, then lamp OFF for one second, followed by seven occurences of lamp flashing ON/OFF for 0.5 seconds each. This indicated Code (1 - 7) 17.

If your vehicle is displaying a Flash Code, it could help determine the cause of the fault.

Just a thought.

Is it the airbag light on the passenger side?

The passenger side airbag in the dash automatically turns off if there is a small person sat on the seat (or luggage of similar weight) in order to avoid injury. The airbag lamp in the same then illuminates.

Cheers,

I air bag light is giving the same flash code 1-7 (17)
What did not replace to fix the problem?

 

Try this again - it is late so the typing has gone the way of my eye sight.
