So glad I bought the VAG-Com lead... bl**dy light has come on again - same high resistance! I am gonne seriosly consider soldering, just so I dont have to keep mucking about :unsure:
Hi Moschino - thanks for the advice. Even though I am very competent solering, I think I will leave it alone and just clean/reset when needed (now that I can). Thanks for the advice though.
Hi Sonic - if you need any help resetting it... I know a good forum :eyebrows:
Thanks everyone for the...
FIXED IT :jump:
Thanks to everyone... in VAG-COM 409.1 I thought the clear codes button from the airbag module just cleared it from the PC screen and did nothing to the ECU. I realised when I tried an earlier version of the software that this wasnt the case as I noticed that the airbag light...
Hi Byzan - yes it is the "ful" copy of 409... interesting what you say about CAN-bus as VAG-COM reports that CAN is needed to clear the DTCs down - if you think it is worth trying 311, do you know where I can get it from?
Hmmm - this is the one I got...

Thanks Old Skool - but the problem isnt that the light stays on - the problem is that the VAG-COM reports an error before it tries to reset the ECU. So the light doesnt even try to go out. As I said the error I get with 3rd party OBD2 cable is that VAG-COM says that it needs a CAN bus, but I am...
Thanks Blue Thunder - I used to do PCB work for a living and so I have thousands of resistors - what resistance do I need and I may try it myself?
So were the Audi garage wrong about the ECU storing the number of faults until it has enough to bring the light on? I understood that even when the...
Hi Mas
VAG-COM 409.1
Error says:
01217 - Side Airbag Igniter: Driver Side (N199)
32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent
The last two times this has come up, the garage have just cleared it on a computer and warned me that it could come back at any time, unless I replace the module...
Blue Thunder - After a full scan, as you say, I cant clear the DTCs down. The error is "CAN required". By going into the airbag controller (15) I dont see anywhere to clear the DTC - the clear codes button just clears the code out of VAG-Com but not from the car!
Am I missing something?
BTW...
Thanks - where abouts is the connector and can I safely dismantle it without setting the airbag off?
The Audi garage says that the controller logs the number of times a fault is recorded and after a certain number it flags it as a fault and brings the warning light on. They said that they'd...
