During my hardwire dash cam install, I removed the trim which holds the passenger airbag switch and unplugged it. Now (unsurprisingly) I have an airbag error on the dash.

 

I’ve cycled the ignition a few times in hopes that would reset it, I also tried enabling and disabling the airbag with the key, still no joy.

 

Is this something I can reset at home? I’m hoping something like ODBeleven free plan can do it, but it’s difficult finding out what the free plan can actually do.

OBDeleven or VCDS, provided the airbag module isn't SFD locked.

Awesome.

 

I guess I won’t know if it is locked until I try, right? 
 

I did watch something on YT that it is possible to unlock with the Pro version, so probably best buying that.

With VCDS it shows modules that are SFD locked when you do a scan, I don't use OBDeleven so can't comment on whether that indicates SFD locked modules in a scan.

@rik1254 Did you able to reset the error code? if yes can you share how did you do it? I also made same mistake of unplugging the airbag switch and now receiving same airbag error every time i turn the car on. 

Same here, grateful for a fix if available, please.

I was able to reset the module using a BT obd scanner I’ve had for years (originally used for Bimmercode on my old F31) with the Car Scanner app.

What PetrolDave said still holds true, if the module is locked, you’ll need to pay to get the right tool/ software.
