These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I want to remove the passenger seat and put a small dog crate there for my dog. I’m guessing that I will get an airbag light. Can I remove that light with the Durametric once I put the seat back in.

POST 2Original post

I don't have a Durametric, but have used a couple diagnostic tools that have no problem resetting the airbag light. I expect that the Durametric being Porsche specific will not have a problem.

POST 4Original post

Just disconnect the starter battery and wait 30 minutes before you start your work and connect it afterwards. Also make shure that you don't have the key in the ignition lock while you disconnect or connect the starter battery. If you have memory seats, then first remove the 4 screws that hold the seat. And afterwards disconnect the starter battery. Also no key in the igntion lock. Then you can diconnect the seat wiring harness.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
