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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 996 has a blown door airbag. I want to change it to non airbag and have bought 2 door panels that are identical but have no airbag. The Porsche specialist who is fixing my car tells me that the Airbag system check will bring it up as a fault and I might have the Airbag fault light come on. Also the fault will register in the ECU. Is there any way to get around this problem. I know that there is an airbag activator switch that sits behind the door airbag. Could this not be connected up and somehow permanently stuck on OK position so no errors get reported. Or is there another way? Any help appreciated.... I will also be posting up pics of car before and after crash when I get it back....

POST 2Original post

I removed all of my airbags including the steering wheel and did not trigger any kind of fault. Actually I was expecting one. Jim

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Jim are u sure... was it your 996 not 993. thanks

POST 4Original post

Vorland, I'm pretty sure I remember which car I built into a race car. Just kidding, it was the 996. I'm certainly not promising that you will have the same results but that was my experience. You are probably safe unplugging the bag and seeing what happens. I suspect that you will be able to reset the code by pulling a battery cable. What door panels are you putting in? Good luck, Jim

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Im putting in some black GT3 door panels with pockets, no speaker. Pretty much identical to before but no airbag. I will speak to the guy again about putting these in... thanks Jim B
