Airbag Warning light reset

Featured Replies

Hi I fitted a parrot bluetooth kit to my octavia the other day and have had the airbag light on ever since.

I have done a bit of googling and it looks as though I must have had the ignition on when I disconnected the airbag switch in the glove box. I have used VAG COM in the past to reset nuisance engine management light issues but cannot seem to reset the airbag light. The VAG COM version is 409-1 I believe (free version) and the message I recieve is unable to locate controller, but the engine controller is found no problem so I presume my software settings and cable are good.

Can I reset the airbag light with what I have? If so what am I doing wrong? I really don't want a trip to the dealers.

Car is a 2008 VRS PD170 with DPF removed and stage 1 map (if thats relevant)

Any advice much appreciated.

...Can I reset the airbag light with what I have?...

NO - you need a CAN version of VCDS which means a full version (licenced Ross-tech lead).

Thanks for the replies. I'll look for someone to reset it for me.
