The seat belt warning light has come on for some reason :confused:

I have checked for errors with vag com and nothing is showing when I run a fault search. I ran the fault search from the first screen... is this correct or should you run a specific search in one of the controlers and if so, which one?

Just installed some footwell lights today but I cannot imagine this being the cause :confused:

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks

If you ran Auto-Scan from the first screen that should scan all controllers for fault codes if you are using a registered version of VAG-COM. The unregistered version only scans a very limited number of control modules then stops. If the seat belt warning light was not on before you installed the footwell lights, I would assume that you have disturbed the wiring/circuit for the former in some way while fitting the latter.

NB: Post modified in the light of Stu's comments below.

hummm.

The only wiring I was next to was the passenger side footwell (speaker cables and electric windows etc) and the radio :confused:

Is there any way of turning this off via vag-com

Thanks

Are you scanning all controllers??

If you have the freeware VAG-COM then I believe autoscan doesn't scan them all.

Have a look on Sebastian's useful site - http://de.openobd.org/skoda/fabia_6y.htm

You can translate some of that using google http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fde.openobd.org%2Fskoda%2Ffabia_6y.htm&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools

Absolutely correct. To quote from Ross-Tech's site:

The unregistered version will scan a very limited number of control modules and then stop.

I have edited my post above accordingly.

Thanks for the info.... when swmbo gets back with the car I will take a look

I have the same problem, also after messing with the wiring for the courtesy light. Did you find a fix?

In reply to my own question, I found I had scanned all controllers except the airbag one (and I missed the fact there is a pic of an airbag in front of the lil man too). I left it out as there was some scare a while back of the light being brought on permanently after scanning the controller with vag-com (now VCDS). Scanned the airbag one, one code (something to do with communications), cleared the code and light gone. Hopefully the light won't come back.
