Evening all,

 

So I have just got my new 1.5 TSi SEL DSG and today fitted a dashcam and hard wired it with the aid of the guide in the other section.

 

I opted to remove the side panel with the air bag switch to allow access to run it up the A pillar trim. I unplugged the switch to be able to completely remove the panel.

 

Now I think my error was that before I put everything back together I started the car to test the camera coming on and off with the ignition.

 

When I plugged the switch back in and put it all back together I now get an 'Airbag Error' warning every time the car starts.

 

Is this something that can be reset without any diagnostic tool?

 

Will ODBEleven reset it as I am thinking of getting one to set up some of the other software options?

 

Thanks in advance.

Unplugging the passenger airbag deactivation switch with the ignition 'on' has triggered the warning light.

 

The only way to reset it now is via VCDS or ODBEleven.

Thanks - Thought that might be the case.

 

Does it cost 'Credits' in ODBEleven to reset fault code?

Quick trip to the local Kwikfit and a helpful man reset it in 30 seconds.......

 

So Note to self. Do not turn car on when Airbag Switch is unplugged!

How much did they charge you?

Nothing.....but I did give him something to get a drink .

 

He did say that Kwikfits policy is not to reset airbag lights as it is possibly a safety issue and he would not have done it if i had been playing around with the actual airbag.

However as it was due to unplugging the switch which was confirmed by the error code on his machine he was happy to do it.
