Technical Airbag light on after removing dash panel

[aaron500]

Hello all,
After removing the dash cluster to fix a sticking fuel gauge, I stupidly did not disconnect the battery.
I now have an airbag warning light on the dash due to the loss of communication with the dashboard warning light.
I have located the diagnostic plug for the airbag system, but the plug on my car only has two wires going to it.
This is a model year 2000 car, so does not have an OBD plug.
I know some cars did have the two wire diagnostic plug for the airbag, but all of the info I have seen does not seem to be working for my car.

The airbag module in question is a TRW 46443798.
The three pin diagnostic plug for the airbag, covered in a yellow sleeve has two wires. 1 Black (Gnd) and 1 Red/Something iirc, which I believe is the Kline wire.

I've attached the 3pin diagnostic plug to the obd adapter and given it power and GND, I attempted to connect to the airbag module via Autel and had no luck. Also tried connecting with a VAG KKL Cable and Multiecuscan. However, it does not connect. I've setup the serial and tested it, the cable works correctly, just won't connect to the airbag module.

I think if your airbag module ends with 98, the standard MultiECUscan and other public apps don't work.
This is according to the owner of barchettaparts

Thanks, do you know what software would work?

Actually reading back on it might work with program "trw2scan", but you will need to use commands in CMD
