Air bag light won't reset after moving seat.

[Jerry238]

Hi, Well I took my reader Icarsoft Porsche compatible back out this morning after watching some youtube videos. When I just read obd codes there are none. If I go into Diagnostics and manually choose AirBag system and then get codes it gives me a 0003 code and says below it power supply. Does that help to diagnose it. I live 3 hours from a dealer and 2 from a good indie shop. I don't have a manual or wiring diagram. All i did was move the seat forward to gain access to change water pump. What a headache. Thanks, Jerry

Hi, I've been so fixated on and assuming that's the problem, I forgot another possible issue. After I moved the passenger seat forward to gain room, I ordered parts. I did not disconnect the battery as I didn''t remove a seat or do anything electrical. Battery went dead, I put a charger on it, installed water pump, started it and that's when the light came on. Maybe it's not the seat at all. Would the battery going dead and recharging it do this? Thanks guys, I'm 2 hours away from the nearest shop that will work on it. Cheers, Jerry

That code, 0003, indicates a low signal from the fuel volume regulator. So unless you have a system wide electrical issue, it isn't related to your air bag issue.

That said, if the air bag light is on, there must be an attendant code, which your scanner is incapable of reading. You need access to a real Porsche specific tool like the Durametric system, a PST II, or a PIWIS to really see what is going on.

Hi Everyone, Thank you all for your input and ideas. I believe it's time to go to the dealer. Jerry

Jesus.

You can find the wiring diagrams on the Internet. Try Google. It's a miracle.

Your dealer is three hours away, and likely two or three times more costly that the indie you said is two hours away. What am I missing here?

Good luck.
