Hi.

The airbag ignitor is located on the steering column inflation system, at the back side of the airbag.

See complete troubleshooting here.

Disconnect the battery before performing any operation on the airbag. Repairs on airbag are quite delicate. For safety reasons the job must be performed or supervised by a trained mechanic.

You can reset the light doing a scan with a Vag-Con tool like this.

As said you reset the light doing a scan with a Vag-Con tool like this.

The price for a complete kit starts at about $600. If you do not have the tool you will need to do it at a VW/Skoda garage.

Hi.

You reset the light using a VagCom. You simply perform a scan on air bag module.

If you do not know how what a Vag Com is, and what the airbag igniter was, it may be better going to a qualified garage. The Air bag is a safety defice. You are not replacing an air filter.

I think I have said it all. I hope you will take my advice wisely. Sorry about the negative feedback received.

Goodbye.

that ring was allready replaced but light didnt go . when another air bag module is out the light goes.how do i reset or rprogram or repair airbag module 1c0 909 601 . skoda octavia 1.9 tdi that ring was allready replaced but light didnt go . when another air bag module is out the light goes.how do i reset or rprogram or repair airbag module 1c0 909 601 . skoda octavia 1.9 tdi

what you need is the code. then you will need the manufacturer diagnostic procedure. Go to mitchell1diy online or alldata.com and for a small subscription you can get the repair procedures and wiring diagrams what you need is the code. then you will need the manufacturer diagnostic procedure.

i tried alldata.com but my car brand is not there ( skoda ) i tried alldata.com but my car brand is not there ( skoda )

still if you want to proceed your going to have to get the code for us to know what direction to proceed in still if you want to proceed your going to have to get the code for us to know what direction to proceed in

code is 00588 . 9 airbag igniter driver side n95 short circuit to earth code is 00588 . 9 airbag igniter driver side n95 short circuit to earth

actually this ring was broken when steering wheel was done some work. after that i replaced with 2 new rings but light goes and come again. error come driver side igniter short curcuit to earth. actually this ring was broken when steering wheel was done some work. after that i replaced with 2 new rings but light goes and come again. error come driver side igniter short curcuit to earth.

well that information would have been nice to know upfront!

therefore... since you have already replaced the air bag and the clock spring the ONLY thing left is the wires from the clock spring to the air bag computer

you now only have two choices
replace the entire under dash harness
or find the "short"

to find the short you have to start at the most logically source, the column and start tearing the harness apart until you find the short

it is now appears obvious that the vehicle was in an accident, the short could be anywhere including under the drivers seat at the crash sensor!!!

the mechanis says there is problem with airbag module . he replaced with other one of same kind and light went off > now how do i erase any fault if stored in module or how do i reset it. the mechanis says there is problem with airbag module . he replaced with other one of same kind and light went off > now how do i erase any fault if stored in module or how do i reset it.

with the exception of myself or another technician actually coming to your house to visually inspect the circuit to find the "short" there is not much I can do, or anyone I suspect

However, here is one last trick
it requires some skill
and you risk deploying your air bag

basically what you do is run an entire new circuit from the clock spring to the air bag module with the exception of myself or another technician actually coming to your house to visually inspect the circuit to find the "short" there is not much I can do, or anyone I suspect

there is some fault in airbag module ( elctronic circuit board is inside module) . i think some errors are store inside it and has to be cleared . do you have any idea how to reset or reprogram airbag module. part no is 1c0909 615 there is some fault in airbag module ( elctronic circuit board is inside module) . i think some errors are store inside it and has to be cleared . do you have any idea how to reset or reprogram airbag module. part no is 1c0909 615

if the technician replaced the bag and the light is off he should have also cleared any codes

from your first post it sounded like your light was on and you had a code

is this not true?

yes there is still code ( driver side igniter n95 short circuit to earth) . when we try to earse fault using vag the code keeps on coming. mechanic checked all wiring till airbag module and it was ok . at last he removed airbag module from some other car and replaced it . after replacing light went and every thing was ok. now i need to buy a new airbag module or can it be reprogramed ? yes there is still code ( driver side igniter n95 short circuit to earth) . when we try to earse fault using vag the code keeps on coming. mechanic checked all wiring till airbag module and it was ok . at last he removed airbag module from some other car and replaced it . after replacing light went and every thing was ok. now i need to buy a new airbag module or can it be reprogramed ?

if replacing the air bag with an known good bag and the light and code are resolved then your ONLY recourse here is to buy a new bag

not airbag . i am talking of circuit board where wires of airbag is connected. its electronic pcb with components onit. not airbag . i am talking of circuit board where wires of airbag is connected. its electronic pcb with components onit.

wait a second... I need to print our entire conversation because when I reply I only see your original post

alright... I think I see clearly now
there is a little confusion with terminology that threw me off

Often, the air bag is called an air bag "module"

the "module" you are referring to, and correct me if I'm wrong AGAIN, is what VW calls an ACM (Air bag Control Module) what what almost all the other manufactures call an RCM (Restraint Control Module)

Is this picture what we are talking about?

if so... and replacing it with a known good one resolved your concern then replacing it with a new one is the way to go

as for programming...
yes they can be reprogrammed but NOT to resolve a code
a code has set because it sees a HARD fault
appears your fault is internal to the ACM

yes . air bag control unit is faulty. when repairing steering of my car the mechanic broked and the connector ring and after that this fault came . yes . air bag control unit is faulty. when repairing steering of my car the mechanic broked and the connector ring and after that this fault came .

do you have idea how to reprogram this air bag control unit

do you have idea how to reprogram this air bag control unit

to program you will need a VW scan tool, the latest update from VW, the ACM serial number and the hexi-decimal numbers stored inside the ACM

again... all accessible @ the VW dealer

However, given the year of your vehicle I do not think that VW will support the programming

therefore the only course of action will to be replace the ACM with a factory unit that has already been programmed
