I managed to clear my airbag light with an OBDII scanner. The scanner must have airbag support.

Note: scanner will only clear a tripped code, if other issue exists the fault can reappear.

In my case I had disconnected airbag, which tripped the fault after reconnecting airbag.

Interesting

I tried this cheap version (only about £10 GBP) and it doesn't find the error, even though it says it should.

Do you know what one you successfully used?

My mechanic said he has "all the software" to check German vars. Is there something I can point him to specifically to get rid of my air bag light?
