Touareg :: 2005 - Passenger Airbag Light Off?
Dec 17, 2004
Another new annoying feature about my '05 Touareg is the passenger side airbag off light. Is there any way to turn the light off permanently? - without a passenger in the seat

Any solution for the annoying light message on the console indicating that the passenger airbag is off? In other words, if no one is sitting in the seat I need to be reminded my entire drive that the airbag is off? Does this even make sense?

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.

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?"

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.

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 was cleaning out the back seat of my car when I noticed the panel that covers the right rear seat belt and goes up to cover the curtain airbag has somehow come loose. I dropped by the VW dealership and they said that a clip broke off from inside causing this and they were asking me how it happened! How I occupy only the drivers seat in my car.

I have a 2005 limited with 45000 miles. It sits in the garage most of the time. A couple of days ago I went shopping and I noticed the area around the passenger airbag was shiny. I could only see it when the sun hit just right. I wonder if it is the defective dash.

I just had my oil changed today and while driving home the red airbag light came on in the instrument cluster and the passenger airbag light on the dash started flashing. When I connected the passenger seatbelt the flashing light went off. While in the dealer also tightened some screws in the center console. I have an under the seat subwoofer that is VERY snug...could that have damaged something when the seat was slid back?

The airbag light in my 06 sonata has been on for the past couple days. And today I noticed when I was driving the car by myself the passenger seatbelt light was blinking and the passenger airbag light off bag wasn't lit? Even though there was no one in the passenger seat? I'm just wondering if there was ever a recall and if I should take it to the dealership.

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.

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?

So over the past few weeks I've grown accustom to my airbag warning sensor and light on, a lot.
First time two weeks ago - Airbag light came on, brought it in...Repaired wiring harness reset light. Light comes on next day, make an appt.
Second time today, brought it in...Just picked it up, fired up the Treg airbag light comes right back on. I was told another harness was repaired and something about a side airbag firing something...
So my third time is in the next week or two... fab. They say the whole harness is to be replaced, which is cool. I respect my service team, the engineers as well... I'm going with the flo, I'm pretty laid back.
My questions is...How long do I need to go with the flow if this keeps happening? All the while this is going on, for every issue I have that's super legit airbag, stepper, running gear. They keep giving me the hook up on, new wood trim, new headlight switch, new mirror switch, new buttons on my center console, new buttons on the nav....

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?

Only thing I did was put groceries on the passenger front seat and floor in front of the passenger seat!!

The airbag fault light came on for no apparent reason and has not gone off. Is this an electrical issue, airbag fault or something else that the dealer can take care of easily?

Quick question about the air bag light function for the passenger seat. When no one is sitting in the seat it does not display "on" or "off" by the clock. When I sit in the seat it displays "on" Shouldn't the light always display "off" if no one or someone too light is sitting in the seat? Is this normal, or is there something wrong with the sensors in the seat?

When my son, who is 83lbs rides in the passenger seat, the airbag OFF light comes on. This behavior does not seem to be consistent. Does seat position have anything to do with this? Is his weight too low to trigger the sensor? Or is it something to refer to the dealer? This query is for a 2013 RX350 with about 1,700 miles on it.
