Today I replaced my steering wheel - proud picture enclosed - which obviously required that I unplug the driver's side air bag. Prior to this work I had unhooked the battery, but during the work I needed to hook the battery back up just for a minute for an unrelated reason while the air bag was unplugged.
Now that the car is buttoned back up, my dash air bag warning light is on.
Theory is that during the short time that the battery was hooked up but the air bag was unplugged, the car 'sensed' that there was a fault in the airbag circuitry, and that the dash warning light is serving as a lingering tattle-tale.
So, my question: With time and a number of operation cycles, will the warning light 'relearn' that the air bag is now fine and extinguish the dash warning light? Or does the dealer need to clear and to reset this code?
