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.

Suspected cause

If you have an airbag light, but no fault code in the control unit, I would suspect the code reader software/cable first.

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.

OK...I tried the electrical contact spray on the seatbelt buckles....no change.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK...I tried the electrical contact spray on the seatbelt buckles....no change. How can I tell if it is a bad Airbag Sensor Control Unit? And....are the Airbags inoperative when that light is on? Anything else that I should check? Thanks for your help.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oh yeah.....and it is throwing no fault codes.

POST 3Original post

What scanner did you use? There got to be fault code(s).

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 12998150

With a generic scan tool, or with PIWIS/Durametric?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No Durametric within 200 miles of my car. Have an iCarSoft i960 scanner with Porsche "software". Not as detailed as a Durametric readout....but, it seems to be accurate. But still throwing no codes and Airbag light still on........really curious to see if the Airbag system is inop. with the light on???

That rules out the issue with Durametric and the 99's.

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