My airbag light won't go out. This dates back to my battery having gone completely I couldn't even jump start . I took it to an independent and awaiting verdict as he couldn't reset it. Anyone got any ideas as to best way forward ? Michael 1994 C2 #311775
 
When you say they "could not reset" it, do you mean they did not have right device to plug in to a 993, or that they do have tool but the airbag fault refused to reset? If refusing to reset I assume you have tried a complete battery disconnect (use key to switch of alarm siren first), leave for a couple of minutes, reconnect. It might be that the really low battery put the airbag sensor into some fault state.

Get a lift ? [:D] Forgive my sense of humour. Seriously, though, in my experience I found when mine went completely flat (radio drained it) that it needed 30 mins or more with the battery disconnected before any odd lamps showing incorrectly were cleared out of the ECU memory and able to restart car. Eveything functioned normally from that point on and I replaced the battery to boot, as it had suffered badly. HTH Graeme
 
mine is on as well, but this is after a steering wheel delete, the fooling fix worked for nearly a year but the light is on now, must get it fixed before the MOT. Not all non hammer devices can read all of the faults that can occur, you may end up at your local PC for a fix

I would have thought that the tester would be more concerned about the lack of steering wheel than the air bag light being on [:)]

yes..........very witty, ok as I am sure you knew I was talking about an airbag equipped steering wheel !
 
Yes, I'd say get the fooling fix replaced (little resistor or whatever it was ) as you can't even pull the offending lamp and then go in for the test. It needs to be seen working when you turn on the ignition, and go out once it is started. (Or put your old steering wheel on just for the test, if all else fails or yuo're feeling lazy [:D] ).
