2003 Box Airbag Light and Durametric

[steeleco]

The other day I replaced my ignition switch which requied removal and unplugging of the front seat. Although everything went smooth the airbag light is on now.

two questions:

1. Athough the battery was disconnected, does unplugging the front seat cause the airbag light to come on?

2. If number one is true, does anybody know if the Durametric Software System can reset this light.

Thanks alot.

Durametric can reset the airbag light. Check the code, then reset the light and if it comes back on you may have another problem.

Boxsters had an issue with the airbag lights coming on. I bought a durametric to reset it but it would come on again after a couple of weeks. The solution that worked for me was to spray something like CRC electric cleaner into the seat belt buckle that attaches to the seat.

After you sprayed the contct cleaner into the buckle, didi you still need to use the Durametric?

Yes, you will need a special tool to turn an air bag light - it can not be cleared by any other method.

1. If you disconnect the main connector under the front seat and you have the ignition turned to the "on" position or just simply have the key in the ignition, it will set off the airbag light.

2. Durametric (or PST2 or PIWIS) can reset the light and give you the code for the cause of the airbag light going on. You can then diagnose the cause if it turns out to be something other than #1 above.
