Hi Have had the airbag warning on my 2002 996 Carrera for a while now. Have had enough and want to mend it, bougt a Durametric cable to read error codes and erase them. They were unfortunately not erasable so I need advice from the clever people at my favourite forum. Please see attached screen dump for fault codes. I am aware that I need a new Airbag control unit becase of fault code 140 and 109. But will a replacement do, or are the fault codes 28 and 29 in need of attention? Please advice on how this can be a DIY job Main concerns: 1. Will installing a used [and hopefully non faulty] airbag control unit with part number 996.618.219.01 work? 2. If I can do this as a DIY job, will unplugging the battery do whilst installing or are there other issues, pairing unit with car and equipment for example (hopefully not). 3. Again, if it is a DIY job, whereabouts and access of control unit, also tools needed would be helpeful.

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.

Posted on renntech forum, got this reply from moderator: The controller and triggering unit are the same thing. Yes, that controller will work with your car. The controller is underneath the forward section of your center console, ahead of the shifter and under the dash. for original post http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...-control-unit/
