Default This is true...airbag computer has its own memory...and the airbags will not deploy as long as...
...the light is on.

Default Yank the ****! Airbags suck!
My wrist that the airbag injured in my accident started hurting today when I was carrying my toolbox - that really sucks. Plus, I've become convinced that I would not have hit the second curb (the one that took out my oilpan) if the airbag hadn't deployed, rendering me useless as a driver.

Default it's supplied power just like everything else - via the battery...even when disconnected...
...it still retains any error codes until diagnosed/cleared with a VAG-1551 or VAG-COM...
