Hello,


Does anyone have any further information on how to reactivate the passenger airbag using VAG-COM?

Audi Cabrio 2.0L, manufactured in 1994, engine code: ABK.


Sure, here's the translation:

'Thank you in advance!'


Mati.

It's best to have the workshop handle this, as they'll also need to assume responsibility for the warranty. It's likely the airbag was professionally deactivated, so the same qualified personnel should reverse the process. An entry should also be made in the vehicle's registration documents after the airbag is reactivated.

Thank you for your contribution, however, you didn't read the question correctly.
I asked for more information.

I understand how the whole process is done professionally, but with this vehicle's production year, it probably won't be possible to adapt it for use with VAG COM.



Thank you again.


Greetings.

Mati.

Normally, a resistor is plugged into the airbag connector when the airbag is deactivated. This means the airbag is deactivated both mechanically and electronically. If you want to reactivate the airbag, you must first remove the resistor, then reconnect the airbag, and then use VAG-COM to reactivate the airbag in the control unit. However, please do not tamper with the airbag or the control unit yourself.

I didn't know that the airbag had anything to do with the turn signal icon_wink.gif.


'Thank you for the information anyway.'


Greetings.
