Air bag light glowing

[BoxsterSenior]

Thank you to .....rrk3000, bmwm750, edevlin, BurgBoxster, rdancd816 & RandallNeighbour for your valuable input regarding the air bag light. I have requested the seller to have the vehicle inspected at the Porsche facility and resolve the glowing air bag light as a condition of sale.

If you spray the contacts with a cleaner will the airbag light go off if the connection is back to normal?

Nope, the airbag light will need to be reset with a durometric tool or at the dealership.

Is the Duremetric tool scan the whole porsche boxster for other errors codes example check engine light. can you rent one or buy one and how much.

Also how would I know then if I fixed the seat belt connector if the light does not go out?
thank

Durametric - Durametric is essentially software that you load onto a laptop. It is more thorough than an ordinary OBDII scan tool. Through a USB interface adapter attached to the OBDII diagnostic port in the car, it can read the DME for stored codes and clear/reset them when the fault condition is corrected, including the airbag warning light. It will not read/reset alarm codes, program keys, etc. though.

The seatbelt connector is a switch. Once clean and the contacts complete the circuit, the unit is fixed (you only need a DMM - multimeter to know that it is fixed, but, this will not turn off the airbag warning light), the Durametric will.
