I have a 96 A4 and when I start the carrhe airbag light comes on, this is normal for a few seconds right? Now it used to turn off after a few seconds and now it stays on for about 2 minutes and then turns off. What does this mean? And how do I fix it? I scanned it with a obd2 scanner and no codes came up.

From what I remember about it, the airbag light will stay on for 2 minutes if there had been an interuption of power to the system, while the ignition was switched on. I once turned the key to the run position, with the airbag fuse removed, and had this problem until the airbag module codes were cleared- as 4Driver4 suggested.

New to Audi. What's vag com? Im guessing it's code reading software. Can I use a obd2 reader? And that makes perfect sense because I as fixing my oil temp guage and maybe unhooked something while it was on and that would make total sense as to why it stays on for extra time.

What's the best way to get ahold of one of those units? I don't have the funds to buy anything like that right now. Will it eventualy clear itself?
