Hi there highly-knowledgable Z people

Ever since I had my Vortech SC fitted, I have this weird side-effect that when I push my car hard (i.e. standing starts, 110mph+, WOT for prolonged periods), my airbag failure light starts flashing.

I can reset it using the methods posted on this board, but as soon as I push the car hard again, it'll come back. It's as if the car's complaining to me about driving it hard!

Apologise for not putting this in the FI forums but I wasn't sure if the problem was FI related.

Has some sensor worked itself loose? How do you diagnose airbag failure warnings?

 

Did you have to have your aluminum bumper removed to make room for an intercooler? If so, the installer probably had to mount the air bag sensor somewhere else that is less stable. It could be picking up too much vibration or was damaged by the mechanic. I'd recommend you post to the forced induction forum for more feedback on this issue.
