For those of yo with 1999 986 an 996 cars and airbag lights....

I have had a reoccurring airbag light for a couple of years. My Durametric can not read the Airbag module but the PST2 and the dealers system can.

I finally did the wiring update under the seat and went back to the Durametric but still no go.
There is hope. I just bought an Autel MD802 maxdiag elite ($200 amazon) and it is able to read the module and clear the codes. I also can read the alarm module and clear codes there as well.

I am unable to read live engine data however. Has anyone had success with that?
