After the airbags went off the car wouldnt start! how do i reset the air bags so i can start my car!
SOURCE: 2007 Passat wagon. I need to reset the air bag warning light.
the air bag light will only show if the ignition was turned on while it was disconnected.
it will defo need to be pluged into the computer to be put out but some smaller garages will have the software to do this and will be a little cheaper.here in ireland VW wanted 50euro to do mine but a small garage done it for 30euro.
you can buy code finders/reset gadgets on ebay but might not be worth it for one job compared to $130.
my suggestion would be to get the main dealer to do it if a normal automotive shop cannot access it.
SOURCE: the ABS and air-bag light are permanently on and a warning light
kenchyke, the shop may have disabled the air bag system to work on the car, and possibly forgot to activate it again. While this seems a bit odd to me that they could overlook this but, since it started after the work was done, you need to return it to the shop asap to have them check it out. Although the car runs fine, the abs system and the air bags won't operate, which could result in injury if you are in an accident (air bag will not deploy, abs probably disconnected).
SOURCE: passat 96 tdi , only runs for 2-3 seconds
i have 2 keys for my passat.with 1 key the engine runs perfect and with the other key the engine runs 2-3 seconds
SOURCE: Air Bag light stays on after engine starts.
Hey,
take a look at www.airbagmodul.com
They're working in Airbag-Simulators and Occupancy Sensor-Simulators.
