Airbag Light caused by removal of deactivation bar
 

Hi,

I removed my airbag deactivation bar at the weekend from 2004 986 S thinking this was no big deal.

As I relaxed in the satisfaction of an easy job well done, I turned on the ignition only to be greeted by my airbag warning light :mad:

If I disconnect the battery for a short while would this reset the car to default settings - i.e. no activation bar fitted and thus get rid of the light?

No, you need either the Durametric software or a PIWIS to do it. You will also need to reprogram the DME to tell it the bar is gone.

Oh bloody hell.

Thanks for the info :)

Stick the deactivation bar on eBay, should cover the dealer cost.... or even PistonHeads... ;-)
