Default A friend had this forEVAR. I vagged it a meellion times. Same error.

Finally his indy shop found that some spring under the steering wheel was wound too tightly. How, he has no idea.

If all else fails, have a shop check that out.

Zip tie the connectors together, worked for me. Been code free for about a year.

Default Check your RADIO controller faults!

Check your RADIO controller fault codes. I had the same problem and found a weird fault in the RADIO controller. Something about internal memory fault or something. I cleared it and was then able to clear the AIRBAG fault code. It has stayed off since then.

Try it and let me know.

did that, I had to clean the connector for me to get rid of the light, but you could try that first.

try cleaning the connector first, then clear the code, a lot cheaper than a $900 airbag.

Default like I said, try cleaning the connector first... AOA should have paid all of it, those airbags

shouldn't be serviced for at least 14 years. I say keep your 75% freebie for later.
