Leading evidence: 'Replace 4 spoke' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'fault code' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect airbag it won't trigger a light' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

It triggered the air bag light on my 993 when I changed the wheel to a 996 type.

I don't know the set resistances of each airbag unit but that is the logical conclusion as nothing else could have caused the light to come on .

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car has the four spoke steering wheel I'm thinking of changing it for one of the more modern looking 3 spoke wheels . Is it an easy enough job to change it over and would it trigger the air bag light ? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Easy to change and if you disconnect the battery 30 minutes before you disconnect the airbag it won't trigger a light.

POST 3Original post

Key in position 1 before you disconnect battery otherwise it fires off the alarm. Changed my 4 spoke to a 3. No issues

POST 4Original post

It triggered the air bag light on my 993 when I changed the wheel to a 996 type. Does anyone know if the air bag wiring is compatible between the two wheels/models? My service man suggested there could be a mismatch between the models when I asked if he could reset the light (didn't have the car with me at the time to try).

POST 5Original post

If you had the battery disconnected and swapped them over and then had the airbag light on .. with probably a fault code for drivers head airbag then i would guess the resistances of both airbags are different ... car thinks there is a problem as it's not the correct resistance . Either that or its not fully plugged in . I don't know the set resistances of each airbag unit but that is the logical conclusion as nothing else could have caused the light to come on .
