800 dollars is probably the cost to fix both sides, you can see about just getting the side on which the fault occured replaced.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The light has never been on and the only thing that I have done is take battery out and install a battery. Is there anything simple that can cause this? I called the dealer and they said something about a seat belt clip update..blah blah blah and that would cost me $800! Someone please help if possible. I do not want to give $800 to the dealership for a small problem I can fix myself. I just do not know where to begin, and I do not want to mess with the airbag system with no clue. Thanks, Pat

POST 2Original post

Maybe , the car had a code before, and when you unhooked the battery , the code came back due to the fact the car needed a seat belt update.If you are the org owner then this will not apply to you..just a thought.The dealer can do losts with PET they have, including disabling codes

POST 3Original post

I cant think of any reason why the airbag light would come one if all you did was replace the battery. Its probably just coincidence. 800 dollars is probably the cost to fix both sides, you can see about just getting the side on which the fault occured replaced. The fix is replacing the belt buckles and changing some wiring under the seat. Another thing, if you are the original owner you might be able to get some assistance from Porsche.
