Golf V R32 :: No Indicator For Passenger Airbag?
Jun 9, 2015
I haven't posted on Vortex since I owned my GTI VR6 I bought R32 number 258 last Summer and I have been loving it. Last Friday I installed all new dash vents as the tabs for aiming them had busted off every single one. I bought a full set of vents from a Chinese vendor off Ebay along with the dark red hazard button. The setup looks a million times better, but there is no indicator for the passenger airbag, and leaving the connector unplugged seems to throw and airbags fault. Any workaround? Will the airbags still fire in the event of an accident? Does the weight detector in the passenger seat still work?

Last night, my 2008 Prius was hit from the rear. The bumper was damaged as well as a few starches on the hatch. However the latch for the hatch was move forward so the hatch no longer latches. Also during the collision, my daughter's heavy backpack was throw against the back of the passenger seat with enough force to hurt her back.
The airbag warning light remains on along with the dash indicator saying the airbag is off. Does mean all the airbags are disabled? Can this be reset? The car will be professionally repaired but I still need to drive it until I can get it repaired.

Every time I start the truck, the Passenger Side Airbag light is on, which is saying the airbag is turned "OFF." I have to push the button to turn the light off, which turns the airbag "ON." How do I reset this to where the airbag is "ON" until I turn it "OFF?"

Last winter I had to replace my front passenger seat. The seat was starting to burn a hole or two, generally getting too hot for the passenger. At about the same time my airbag warning idiot light came on! I changed my front seat. The seat change was no biggy, but I keep getting the airbag light! Can this be cleared simply or only by a dealer?

135 plus pound passenger with seat belt on. Was intermittent on/off with passenger but now seems always off (off light 'on' ) meaning the passenger airbag is disabled.
I know the es350 was so bad like this that there was a threat of class action. I've read the weight sensor is in the passenger seat rail and you can also do a calibration with a scan tool.

Just started my car after dropping off the boy at school this morning. Now The radio is dead and i have a red airbag indicator on. Thinking this must be related somehow. where to start looking to resolve this could it be a fuse, or does it sound expensive to fix.

The air bag indicator on my new (4 months) Touareg came on the other day. I was driving on a paved road when this happened.

Dashboard light is flashing. Sometimes it flashes sometimes it doesn't:no real pattern. It just started with no accident or jarring.

Ok, I accidentally got a speaker wire wrapped around the steering wheel while I was driving. I turned the wheel and the wire broke. I was able to pull the wire out but now none of the controls work on my steering wheel and the airbag indicator light is on. I watched some vids on YouTube on steering wheel removal and I suspect I may have caused a connector to become separated. Does this sound reasonable? I am a little hesitant to start taking it apart. I don't want to do some serious damage. Does this sound like it will be an expensive repair?

Got a limited service campaign letter for right front seat sensor problem causing the AIR BAG OFF indicator to illuminate. Apparently certain conditions can turn on the Air Bag Off indicator. Question is, will the indicator turn off when the engine is turned off and restarted? Or once it is tripped it stays on whenever the ignition is on?
This car is turning into a pain, having to take it to the dealer for too many problems. Tempted to do nothing about this latest campaign, unless the light stays on.

I have an 09 Accord (LX), one day the airbag light (SRS indicator) on the dash would stay on when driving, and the Seatbelt Reminder Indicator would detect the driver's seatbelt isn't engaged, even when it is.
A day later, the seatbelt indicator resumed normal operation, but the SRS light still remained on. I took it to two separate dealers and neither of them could connect to the SRS Control Unit to pull error codes from the onboard computer. They say I need to replace the SRS Control Unit to even begin troubleshooting this problem.
Can I replace my own SRS unit without accidentally triggering my airbags? Where do I order it? How do I make sure it is the correct part? Is it easy? Or I have a separate problem?

About a year ago, my airbag indicator light threw a code 47. It did this for about two days, then it stopped. Fast forward to this weekend, and it started again. From what I can tell, it is the passenger side seat belt pretensioner. It could be a coincidence, but my daughter pulled the seat recline lever without anyone being in the seat, causing it to fly forward as if James Bond was ejecting someone through the windshield. The next time I started my truck, it was throwing the code. I tried to check to see if the plug was knocked loose during the ejection sequence. I thought the connector was under the passenger seat, but I don't see any wiring (the passenger seat is manual). My next guess was behind the glove box, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
My truck is a 2001 F250 4x4 Lariat.

I don't know how to get rid of annoying "Passenger Airbag Off" BEEP. Follow the instructions for removal of head unit.
1. Unplug the electrical connector from the light unit:
2. Disassemble the light unit into its constituent parts. You can pull the display panel off the electronic bit with some modest force, and it'll be obvious how the prism is separated:
Note that I painted the prism surface black with a sharpie. That doesn't work much.
3. Layer a precisely cut piece of thick black paper between the prism and the inside of the panel. Check for a light
leak by holding it up to a bright light. It's tough to cut the paper just right so that there are no light leaks.
4. Reassemble the light unit and stick it back into place.
5. Reseat the head unit.
Warning: you can't just leave the light unplugged. It'll throw an airbag fault. That's why I opted for blocking the light, rather than getting rid of the light altogether.

I just did TSB036-07 on my 07 I4 for the sluggish problem. It turns out very good. Now I got another problem right after that fix, the "Passenger Airbag Off" light is always on even with an adult (over 150 lb) sitting there. I suspect they touched some wires during the TSB service. I will certainly take it back to the dealer and report it back to you. Searching the forum, I saw one reported that the ECU has to be replaced to fix it.

Possible to turn on and off the passenger side airbag? In order to have a child's car seat in the front I need to be able to turn off the airbag. I need to turn it back on when an adult is sitting there. It is a Touareg 3,2 V6 Tiptronic.

I received an Air bag Fault and Parking Break Fault yesterday when I started the car. Found my (drivers) belt latch sensor wiring was buggered so I fixed that. I don't know if that was the technical name for it, but it was the wiring from the receiving latch to the connector. The parking break fault went away so my guess is that short pissed it off. But who knows, it could be unrelated.
However, the air bag fault will not go away. I thought by fixing that it would vanish, but I guess not.
I have found that the light goes out for a moment and then reappears when the "passenger air bag off" light comes on. The other day, it thought my wife was still in the seat after she got out so I'm guessing the passenger seat wiring is the culprit.
I don't have a VAG-COM so the above detail is all I have. I really don't want to go to the dealer, but do I have a choice?

The Passenger Airbag Off light is always on no matter if the passenger seat is empty or has someone sitting in it. It magically went away for a year and worked perfectly and now it came back to haunt me. I tried pulling all connections to the seat and cleaning them with an electrical cleaner, but the light is still on. What else can cause Airbag Off light to turn on?

On our 2005 V8, we had an airbag fault message come up, and the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" light lit up. We had the code cleared, and everything has been fine. Is there any way to prevent this light coming on? Our mechanic said that it can be caused by taking your safety belt off before the vehicle is stopped, but I wanted to know if there is any other causes of this fault. We have decided to not move the passenger seat at all, just in case there is a wire broken or a loose connection.
