Hi Sherry I'm no expert - although I feel like one now. I'd go with a chep one; http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=56407

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...

Hi Sonic Thanks for that - I will clean it today to try and stop it happening again.

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 I have just PM'd you again Thanks Lee

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... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OBD2-OBD-II-Diagnostic-USB-Cable-KKL-VAG-COM-409-1-Gift_W0QQitemZ140239002071QQihZ004QQcategoryZ30921QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

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...

Thans Mas/BT... however that brings me back to my original post about how (and if) I can clear the fault light with VAG-COM on my car. Thanks

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...

Hi All My 1998 S4 Avant (B5) keeps bringining up an airbag warning light. On VAG-COM (using 3rd party lead) it says that the fault is an intermittant high resistance on the passenger airbag module. I'm not worried about the fault, but just want the light reset. Last time Audi did it at no...

Thanks to all for advice - I am sure that it is the handbrake switch as this morning the light went out as normal when I let the handbrake off - so I drove around and purposely never used the handbrake and the light didnt come back on at all. Then I pulled the handbrake on enough to bring the...

Thanks Aragorn - thinking about it you're right... its got new pads & discs. The fluid level is just over max, which is where it ended up after I changed the discs and pads... so I'll just make sure the ABS works when its safe to do so - and if it skids at least I'll know to take extra care till...

Thanks for the above Blue - yes, I should have said, the first thing I checked was the fluid level - it's just very slightly above max!

So Billy/Blue are you saying that this could be something serious rather than a minor handbrake switch problem? Annoyingly I can remember if it was on when I took over driving from my wife or if it came on whilst I was driving - that would pretty much answer if it is a problem with the switch...
