However I would like to properly diagnose first, does anyone know is there is an available scan tool that I can buy to read and reset the code?

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2001 c4 cab, air bag light cam on out of the blue and has been on for several days. Some reading on this thread suggest it�s likely seat belt buckles. However I would like to properly diagnose first, does anyone know is there is an available scan tool that I can buy to read and reset the code? Thanks craig

POST 2Original post

Durametric would be my choice. In fact, that was m reason to buy it years ago. I replaced then the Seat belt buckle and that fixed it after reset. However, it came back last year and I tried a different route. I got this below and gave it a good spray. Issue has not come back for 12 months. Amazon Amazon MG Chemicals 409B Electrosolve Zero Residue Electronic Contact Cleaner, Clear 15.45 Fl Oz

I've always used Caig Deoxit but I'll give this this a try in the future. When my buckle started to go I got code 45 with the Durametric. I tried contact cleaner which worked for a few weeks but then ended up replacing the buckle and it hasn't come back. Replacing the buckle isn't a big deal but you need to unbolt the seat.
