B1004 error from Alfa Romeo 159 Airbag ECU
Posted: 31 Jan 2023, 16:36
Hello, the Airbag warning symbol lights in the dashboard of my Alfa 159 (model 2008).
MES shows this error when reading the ECU:
"B1004 - connection to ECU grounding."
"ECU supply voltage is below or above specifications."
I cleared the error and the light went out - but lighted up again when I drove on a bumpy pavement.
So it looks like an unstable ground contact.
But - the Airbag ECU does not have an extra ground wire.
Also, MES says in the error explanation:
"The reason is the ECU did not receive signal from Sensor."
That sounds different - now what exactly did the ECU complain about:
a Difference between its _own_ voltage and the battery's one?
OR
b Failure of a sensor signal?
