Didn't do a thing and the airbag light is on.
 

1999
Boxster
90k miles.

I read that people take out seats,airbags and such and the light goes on but I did nothing but turn my car on.
Am I going to have a problem with my bag?
I also read about seat belt sensors going bad over and over.
Can I clean something,tighten something? I don't want the nightmares of people replacing seat belt parts over and over.
Could a battery losing cranking amps set it off? My car starts on the first turn but it sound like it's taking a lot out of the battery.
I already ordered the durametrics kit but down the line if I want to sell my Boxster for a newer one then people will look at it like it's damaged goods that can't pass inspection and haggle me down. Help!

p.s. What's that countdown on the dash with an oil sign.Is it a countdown to an oil change?
thanks for any answers in advanced.

You should be able to reset your air bag light with your Durametric assuming there is no pending fault. The typical fault is a bad ground in one of the seat belt receptacles.

The oil level check countdown clock on the 986 is a timer that signals a short waiting period before the electronic oil level gauge will give a reading. I think it’s approximately 5 seconds on a cold engine and about 5 minutes for an engine that has just been shut down.

The older 986's have a well documented problem with the seat belt buckles that causes the air bag light to trip. You need to search for the TSB that details the fix............
