Airbag CEL - AVOIDING IT!

[Frodo]

This is a question I should know the answer to but, off the top of my head, I don't. I'm getting ready to do some work on the Box, some of which involves working from inside the car. I remember oh-so-vividly paying a Porsche dealership like $100 to "check the air bags and reset the CEL". (As far as I'm concerned, the airbags were fine...I just wanted the damn idiot light shut off!!)

If I disconnect the battery before taking out the passenger seat and don't re-connect it until after the job's done and the under-seat harness is re-connected again, will I avoid the pesky CEL? If not, IS there some way to pull the seat out and still avoid that problem?

Also, since my last experience with this, I have picked up an Actron pocket scanner. I think I do know the answer to this one, but can it reset the airbag CEL? (I'm pretty sure the answer to this one is "No".)

Thanks in advance.
