Airbag Warning light came on out of the blue. Light flashes once long then twice short - understand that this means diagnostic code 12 (one long flash, then two short flashes). I cannot find what this code relates to in order that I can have this addressed, as I understand that this is a MOT failure if not rectified.

Thank you.

Code 12 is for a seat weight sensor, this is a sensor that will activate the airbag only when the seat is occupied.

You first have to get the weight sensor in the seat checked, this should be bone by a qualified tech.
