ChrisGoulding Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Can anyone tell me how to reset the airbag warning light or is it a trip to the dealers? I have a Golf Mk4 GTTDI on a 02 plate and I accidentally took out the airbag fuse (I was looking for one that was possibly blown). As soon as I took it out, the warning light came on and wont go off, even though I have replaced the fuse. I have tried turning the ignition on and off a few times, but to no avail.

petsy Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 know anyone with a vag-com to reset it? apart from the above and I don't know for certain but disconnecting the battery may reset the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisGoulding Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I dont know anyone with a vag-com, but will try taking the battery off. If it doesnt work, I will take it to a local garage. Thanks for your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisGoulding Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I have had a look at the interfaces for VAG-COM and they seem to be really cheap. The software can be downloaded to my laptop or PC for free and then I should be able to clear the fault code myself and hopefully deal with many other problems that may arise. Is it really that easy or am I missing something? The adverts on E-bay seem to suggest that it is very easy!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Scanning the airbag controller is dodgy for some reason I can't remember. You can destroy the controller if you use the wrong software, I think. Check it out very carefully before you do this. Maybe try asking in the VAg Com section here on TSN first, the guys there will know more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisGoulding Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Took the car to a local garage earlier today. 1 minute later the fault had been cleared and he didnt even charge me for it. What a result!!! Thanks once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
