Airbag Deactivation Bar Removal: Does the computer need to be reprogra

Hi, I currently have a Childseat Airbag deactivation bar installed, and would like to have this removed. It was programmed by the dealer when it was installed so that the computer knew it was there, so to speak. Does anyone know for sure, if I remove the deactivation bar, if I have to have the dealer reprogram the ECU again to show that it is no longer there? And if I simply remove the bar physically, will there be some sort of CEL or Airbag light?

Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

What the dealer did was to deactivate the airbag on that side.

If you remove the bar you may get an airbag light since the airbag is not functioning on that side.

Just have your dealer or any shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester change the setting. It is a 5 minute job.
