Airbag Failure Fault After Disconnecting Airbag

[Goldlake80]

I had to disconnect the passenger side door airbag as part of door panel removal, to replace the door lock mechanism. To check that I replaced the part correctly, I reconnected the battery and turned the ignition key, and got an "Airbag Failure" warning. The fault didn't clear even after disconnecting the battery, reconnecting the airbag and closing up the door panel, and reconnecting the battery.  I confirmed the airbag was reconnected.  I suspect that it may be a "latched' fault that can only be cleared via the Durametric tool - thoughts?

You will need a PIWIS or similar diagnostic tool to reset the code, airbag codes and other safety items, can't reset manually.

Durametric will clear the code for the Airbag light.  If you don't have it, maybe someone in your local PCA chapter has one.  Or a local indy.  Takes longer to hook it up than it takes to clear the code.

Contacted a local PCA member with a Durametric, and cleared the airbag fault code.  Took longer to setup, establish a connection with the car, and startup the software than to clear the code.

I think that's why most of us have a Durametric.
