Ve Airbag Fault

[Vs-AclaimII]

Hey guys I have a Ve series2 SV6. Airbag fault came up on the display. Couldn't start it for nothing. Tried to start the car it wouldn't. So I had to Jump start the car. Is this caused by the battery?

 

[Major Herbie]

Yes.
It might've also had an ABS fault come up while you weren't looking. Nothing is wrong with anything except the battery.

So, I'm better off changing the battery?

Charge it and if it happens again replace it. I've had it happen on my old VE like 5 times once I replaced the battery was all good.
The girlfriend's did it the other day but is all goo after a complete charge.

It's prob going to let you down if you don't change it, on a cold morning soon.
The dash info screen tells you the state of charge.
The day after I give mine a quick charge it's always back to 80% or so.

Overnight during winter is good. ;-)

Use an appropriate battery charger for the type of battery you intend to charge. Not ALL battery chargers are equal.

I've changed the Battery today, and it says on the Engineering mode, that its on 69.8%. It's funny it said the same thing when I had the old battery in?

Check the reading again tomorrow. I never see the high charge till the next day for some reason.

Mine has always cranked strong when it drops to 60%. Terminals in engine bay have been known to come loose.
