OK just took possession of a beautiful 2001 shiny grey barchetta and made the mistake of leaving a can of brake cleaning spray under the seat . After a day or so it must have touched the cables down there and the airbag light lit up . I see a lot of people have had the same problem .I have a full copy of multiecuscan version 2.2 and a vag cable that connects to a socket under the seat allowing me to se all the engine settings etc .
There is also an adaptor (3pin with 2 crocodile clips) for the vag cable .
My question is the following ... for the life of me I cant get the vag cable connected under the seat to get a reading from the airbag module ecu it tells me to check my port settings and connection to the 3 pin cable .
I've read all the possible locations for the airbag obd port here in other posts but for the life of me I can't see one under the passenger airbag and i've been doing some pretty funky pillates under there with a torch.
Should all my diagnostics be done using a vag cable through the 16 pin port under the seat in which case will I need a special cable with different settings on it ? Or will I have to take the dashboard apart looking for an obd adapter for the airbag ?
thanks a million
