The last step in the installation is to hook up the PTS2 and go through the menu driven selections to change the Child Seat Occupancy selection from "Not Active" to "Active".

If you turned on your ignition key while any of the underseat wiring was unplugged, the result will be a fault & warning light and the necessity for reset with the PST2.

If you performed the installation flawlessly (no key turned on) but have not yet had the central computer informed of such (using the PST2), then the airbag light will be on.

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.

Hi guys,
Installed the Porsche passenger airbag deactivation bar recently. The airbag warning light stays on no matter what. I do have the correct buckle that plugs into the plug, either pluged in or not the airbag warning light is constantly on.
Any ideas?
TIA

Its all detailed in the TSB 6923 dated 3/5/99.
Took my indy mechanic (God bless him) about 5 minutes, no charge.
Kim,
Thanks for the input, I was seraching for a temporary solution before I had a chance to get the PST2 hook up. I was reading some information from a search on this subject. Someone was able to manually get the system to turn off the airbag warning light and deactivating the passenger side airbag without using the PST2. But unfortunately the procedures has to repeat itself every ignition cycle.
Just had the dealer install the deactivation bar - when I plug in the buckle from the seat, the airbag light blinks at me for about 2 minutes, then goes off for the duration of my trip. I'm assuming that's correct, since it would make sense to remind the driver that the airbag is off, but not drive him insane with a light that never goes off...
The TSB calls for the airbag light to flash at 1 Hz for 60 seconds (originally, 10 seconds but that clearly wasn't long enough) to signal the driver that the passenger airbag has been deactivated.
I've trained my 4 yr old granddaughter ( a daily rider) to check for this after I start the car .... as I have long since passed the point where I could remember such a task.
