Hi all have a problem with airbag light flashing 26 times ie 2 long 6 short have looked at a code table there is no code 26 on a 2005 XK8 Thanks for any ideas

 

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Thanks Pistnbroke

 

Here you are code 26...All sounds a bit OTT to me ..just check out the passenger seat belt switch and wiring.

Disconnecting the electrical connectors underneath the seat, cleaning them with electrical contact cleaner spray, and then reconnecting them can sometimes clear these pesky airbag codes....

 

Hi Jon 89 Thank you for your advice

 

The critical thing with this is that you tell us how you cured it .....you know how2 but we want to know how2 as well.

 

Ok Pistnbroke soon as i know will let you know thats if ican find it

 

Hi Pistnbroke got my 26 flash code sorted it was the occupancy sensor passenger side on the pillar just a bad connection Thanks every one for advice ect

 

I thought the seat belt clip had a switch which was used for occupancy? Is there another ? What do you mean on the pillar ? B post ? Photos are always good.
My light is always out as after 10 seconds a timer shorts out the bulb.!!

 

Hi pistnbroke I think the 2005s have a diffrent set up ie there is no seat postion sensor on the bottom rail there are 3 occupancy sensors 1 on the post between windscreen & door my problem . 1 over head were the internal lights are . 1 Just behind the passenger seat After replacing the weight sensor in the passenger seat without cure .Went to see a independent Jag man worked it out in 30 mins Andrew Lindsay Northern Ireland
