URGENT HELP... Mot failure...airbag light on... Need help with fault codes

[Trinder]

Hi there

Please can someone help me with the following. The airbag light is on and the following codes have appeared.
65535 - internal control module memory error 00-10 intermittent

00588 - airbag igniter, driver side (n95) 32-10 - resistance too high - intermittent

I need to get this fixed tomorrow so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

Pretty sure that's the steering wheel airbag. The n95 is inside the steering wheel, looks like the wire has come off or split between that and the control module. Would be my first port of call. Good luck!

was it the slip ring?

I still haven't found the problem...I think I will be changing the control module for the other error. Doesn't any1 know if this is as easy as just swapping them over and where it is?

Looks like there is only basic coding on this one but you will want a VCDS to clear the faults after anyway...

Scroll down to my post in this thread to see where the control module is: http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/air-bag-dash-light-on.221957/

There will be a OEM code on the control module, the easiest way to swap is to find an exact replacement. Other possibility is to let someone fix the control module, but with that you never know how well it will operate or if it will work at all.
