Hi, I have Airbag light on 2002 Boxster 3.2S, Right hand drive.
I have narrowed down the cause of Airbag staying on to the Trigger Unit. Searching for error codes shows Fault 20, Driver Ignition Circuit. I have checked the clock spring for electrical continuity to Driver Airbag, removal of Driver's Airbag shows Error 21, Drivers airbag. Code erased with code reader on re-connection.
Where is the Trigger Unit?
How can I check to see if it is working?
I do not have access to the 'special tool' 9516 mentioned in the Porsche Technical Manual to check functionality.
Is it possible to replace unit with a secondhand one from another Boxster?
Any advice would be great. Thanks
