2006 suzuki swift, started coming on intermittantly, now on continuously. Have wof coming up and thought i would try to save some $$$$ by finding the fault myself, any ideas greatly appreciated.

Probably a pesky bulb in the dash illuminating the symbol I would think.
Best to get it done properly. by the time you screw about swapping things over and testing different configurations you could've paid someone anyway.At least get a professional diagnosis to shorten the list of possibles.

Get in there and take out the bulb in the dash.
Cause you will fail WOF with the light on im pretty sure!

Worst advice ever (well, probably not really ever :-)
It will fail a WOF if the light doesn't come on too.
As Peas suggests - take it to the agents for a diagnosis. It will be faster which means usually cheaper

Take it in to a garage/auto elec and get them to find out what the fault is with their code/computer thingy, will probably cost you around $35. then you know what bits to repair/replace as it could be as simple as a sensor or a major (expensive) part.

Thats if the inspector is clued up enough to look for it, but yes your right but you'd b surprised how many would not notice it.

often this is caused by a failed or faulty occupancy sensor in the passenger seat. Common fault with BMWs, Alfa 156s, and i have had to replace one in a Merc a class. I suspect the problem is made worse by people kneeling on the seat, like leaning into the car with knee, or to turn around to buckle child in back etc.

^^^ Happened on my Skyline too, just reset the system and it hasn't come back
The light on isn't necessarily a reason to panic, plenty of things from minor to serious that can go wrong with the system
