Within a year owning a Boxster I sorted out 3 airbag light issues; corroded connector with seat belt buckle, diactivation with child seat buckle and clock spring using the Autel.

This....I have an Autel MD 802 and it DOES reset the airbag light. Mine continued to go off, and I have now sprayed electronics contact cleaner in the belt buckles...my passenger buckle was setting off the light.
