I assume this means the input voltage to the unit is low?? if so how do I check it, is there a fuse to test first?

The Durametric doesn't appear to be resetting the unit anyway.

Does the light being on result in a MOT fail?

Many thanks
First of all, no scanner will reset a fault triggered by a componet failure until the problem is fixed. Your code is for a fault with the air bag control module, which is either disconnected or has failed. If it needs to be replaced, it will need to be recoded with a PIWIS system, the Durametric cannot perform that task.
