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

Hi I have had 2 episodes in my 99 996 where the airbag warning light came on. Each time it was when I started up a cold engine and fastened the seat belt. Light came on and did not go out for the whole trip. Each time I got home and hooked up the Durametric-it said "driver's seat belt" under the airbag module. Each time I erased it. So My question is-what triggers this fault? The only wires on the 99 belts appear to be at the buckle in between the seats. Just replace this? Maybe switch with the passenger buckle? Thanks for any answers or discussion.

Take a look at the link below to an earlier thread where this is discussed. There appears to be a kit to fix this too. 996 Seat Belt buckle / Airbag Light

Thank you Dmitry! Can anyone explain the mode of the failure or fault? Is it simply surface contamination on the contact surfaces in the buckle circuit?
