Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The seat belt buckle has been replaced on my '99, and I still get an airbag fault every once in a while.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Posting for a friend: Just pulled the car out of storage. Looks like when I pulled the battery cables off to do some repairs, it has now turned on the air bag warning light on the dash. My guess is there is a reset process, but owner' s manual said to take it in for service. Light comes on with the key and flashes off for a second as car starts, then turns on continually. any help would be appreciated as we are heading out on vacation and it would be nice not to face this for the next 6000 miles.

POST 2Original post

An airbag light can only be reset with Durametric, a Porsche PST2, or Porsche PIWIS tester. The code should be read first to see if you have a problem. My guess would be a seat belt buckle as they are common faults.

POST 3Original post

+1 to Loren's comments. The seat belt buckle has been replaced on my '99, and I still get an airbag fault every once in a while. Not sure what causes the intermittent fault, but I reset it with my Durametric (about once a year), then it goes away. It was the reason I got the Durametric, but now I'm glad I have it for checking misc. faults (and enabling my instrument panel's on-board-computer )

I had that same problem and posted here on RL about 3 years ago. I was shocked how many fellow RL'ers had the same problem. I twice replaced the receiver part of the driver's seatbelt and still could not get the damn light off. After about a year and a half, one day I noticed that it was off. Never came on again

I had mine turned off last weekend with a scanner that was neither that you listed.
