Touareg :: How To Get Rid Of Passenger Airbag Off Beep
Dec 13, 2006
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.

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?

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.

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 was check fuses looking to see if taillight bulb was bad. I pulled out a few while the car was running, then there was a beep, and airbag light came on. Tailight fuse was ok, just had a bad bulb. Put in new bulb, everything works fine but airbag light stays on. All fuses are good.

I have a 2000 VW Jetta GL. A few weeks ago I noticed my charging light come on followed by abs and airbag lights. Which would mean that the alternator is not charging the battery. However I kept on driving and this light would go off. However when I hit a bump on the road this light goes off meaning that the battery is being charged by the alternator. I recently installed a sound system in the vehicle which worked without problems for a few weeks before I started having this problem. Since then I have changed the alternator, battery and taken out the sound system. I now have a 125 amp alternator instead of a 90 amp alternator. The charge light doesn't come on anymore after startup but the abs, airbag and emergency brake light with a beep is now occurring.

For a long time my 2004 regular cab truck has a quirk that both the driver (and passenger if present) must click their seat belts before starting the truck. If not, the seat belt chime and light flash, even though the seat belt light is off when the alarm is not sounding.
Even if the truck is in park, and the passenger gets out of the truck and back again with the engine running, once in drive it will start the seat belt alarm with everybody properly buckled.
A few months ago I was driving to work and the airbag light started to flash.
I took the truck in for the air bag wiring harness recall, and the airbag light did not flash since then, and for a little while the seatbelt problem went away.
1 month later the seat belt quirk was back again.
This past weekend the 5x5 air bag alert started. I checked previous posts, and confirmed that my air bag light does not ever light on my dash. I don't remember if it ever came on once the recall was "fixed".
My gut feel is that the wiring to the light is fine, and that this is a wiring problem in the harness. I saw a post that made a vague reference to the air bag sensor under the center console and the seat belt circuit and could find no more.
Looking for a wiring diagram? If the airbag light is out, does the 5x5 alert supposed to indicate that the bulb is burned out, or that the bulb is out AND there is an airbag fault?

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.

I have an 07, V6 with about 200 miles, no mods, here are my two challenges:
1. At about 60 mph to 70 mph I get vibration in my steering wheel. Before I bot the vehicle the dealer said they checked the alignment and proper air pressure of the tires and everything looked good (I told them what the vehicle was doing). The weird thing is it doesn't always do this, usually every other time I drive it.
2. I programmed the car to beep when I lock it which now it doesn't beep anymore and the light switch near the compass that you can select the light to turn on when you open the doors works, but never turns off when you close the doors so I have to turn the switch off.

I got a loud beep and MFI warning "Brake Light Failure" indicating my bulb was out in the right rear brake light. A friend was behind me, I called his cell phone and he said, yup, its out. Then after a few mins of driving, the warning went off and the brake light was again functioning. This has then happened to me twice more over the course of about a week. The brake light still works, but I get a failure and warning sporadically.

we recently got snow in the northeast and I am getting funny beeps alarms from my park assist sensors. As I am driving, 4 red light light up on the park assist display and when I come to a stop, all the right side lights of the display come on. Needless to say, I have cleaned the outside sensors.
Also, I have a rattle coming from the right side of the dash near the windshield.

I persuaded my dealer to do it. He gave me a verbal warning it was defeating a safety issue, but now there's just one beep but the light still flashes.

I recently had to have e my alarm replaced on the car and after i left the dealer i parked and locked the car and came to notice that the chirp is no longer a chirp but a high pitched very loud beep that lasts longer than the previous chirp. The odd thing is that when i activate the alarm it sounds exactly as it should. I contact the dealer and asked if they gave me the right alarm and assured me that it is right and properly installed. What is going on??

Recently "acquired" AB Fault that would not go away. Upon routine 10k service, here is what was found out. If you move the passenger front seat within the first few seconds, the self-tests (including determination of seat empty to automatically turn off passenger airbag) get confused and a fault code is thrown. Fault will not go away until reset by VW service (or presumably VAG-COM can do this).
The recommended "fix", at this point, is to not mess with the seat adjustment for 10sec after ON. There is no written information on Touaregs, apparently, but same problem is documented in a Technical Bulletin for New Beetle. A relevant quote from that document is: "Volkswagen Technical Service is investigating the following condition. After switching ignition ON, the Airbag Monitoring indicator light stays illuminated and DTC 02511 014 - Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module Fault - is stored in DTC memory.
