drift_bear Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Iirc there's a way you can do it yourself peter, I'm pretty sure I've done it before on one of my old supra's years ago **EDIT** plug a wire into AB and another wire into TC then alternate touching the wires in AB/TC onto the negative terminal - helps to have someone to look at the dash while you do it....

Benjy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Put some insulation tape over the light. Can't see it, can't fail it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) I just removed the bulb. I thought the airbag warning light had to light up when the ignition is turned on or that's also a fail now, doesn't the same go for the ABS warning light as well Edited June 2, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It doesn't have to illuminate. ABS does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 My missus used to have a horrible POS Kia and the MOT guy was being really awkward about both the ABS and Air bag lights, insisted they both had to come on momentarily. I connected one up to the oil light and the other up to the ignition, it passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
