Technical Airbag light

Hi I've just purchased a Mk2 punto (51 plate). The airbag light is on is there anyway of resetting this without plugging it in?

Thanks in advance

which light is staying on ?

as a general rule of thumb no

if the light (red) is on then there is a current or logged fault which needs to be fixed easiest way to fix it is to plug it in and see whats causing it

I'm not sure which light it is. I will take a picture of it tommorow. I was hoping I would be able to clear it without plugging it in though

 

[PuntoHowTo]

No you'll need to plug it in

I've had my airbag warning light on since changing out my PAS. My cheap diag tool says there are no errors so I'm stuck, wondering if it is the replacement electronics on the column or the airbag needs replacing. You can be sure it's going to be expensive lol

if you used due protocol when shaft changed then light would extinguish on self test

you've obviously broken something
fiatecuscan with appropiate cable hasnt failed me yet and i see all peoples bodges whether they be postmen or ladies of the night

You cheap diag tool may not be connecting to the airbag ecu.... so u might not be getting codes

Fes or mes is ur best bet
Take care with airbags they are dangerous....

I followed the guide on this site and allowed for the time the op didn't and light still came on. I looked today and all connections seem correct and in correct places. Any one know if the steering ecu is the airbag control? As that is under warranty for another year or would it be easier to go get a diag at a mechanics?

Thats because cheap diag tools are typically only for general engine fault codes and not Airbag ECUs etc.
