Like the title says, I'm looking to see if anyone has the procedure to code out the seat airbag light on a 2010 7.2. I swapped from the sofas which haver the airbags in them for a set of Recaros. I need to code the car for the optional OEM Euro one piece buckets. Just wanted to see if anyone has a step by step on this to speed things up for me when I take it to the shop where I can borrow a PIWIS to get this done without too much fumbling around with it.

Thx!

This is what I provided my dealer when I originally coded out sofas for the GT3 buckets (no airbags).

Instructions Provided:PIWIS Main Menu -> Select POSIP -> Select Coding Scroll down and update following entries: Driver Thorax Airbag: No Passenger Thorax Airbag: No AWS: No

Excellent my friend. You da man! I appreciate it.

Ok, update. Drove the car to the shop and one of the guys there took care of this for me. The procedure as stated in post #2 above is partial. The full procedure is as follows:

In POSIP menu select:
Driver Thorax Airbag: No
Passenger Thorax Airbag: No
AWS: No

Clear all stored fault codes in the DME (there will be several air bag and AWS codes)

In GATEWAY menu clear:
AWS fault code**

**This was an important step. Without clearing the GATEWAY the air bag light would not clear from the dash.

Thx for posting the updated details!! I’ve updated my own notes since the dealer’s invoice didn’t have that bonus information included.

You're welcome. We also used PIWIS to add the "daytime running light" menu to the cluster which allows me to turn that feature ON or OFF directly in the instrument cluster. I did not have that there before.

So, I guess this isn't the same on a 7.1 ? I tried last night on mine and still have the light.

I did not do the ECU reset. Will try that today. Thanks!

The deleting the belt buckle makes no sense in the above link. The only time you would need to do that is if you did NOT transfer the belt buckle from the old seats to the new seats. To do that, you need to unclip the belt buckle from the "old" seat harness and plug it back into the harness that's in the car. I suspect some people omit this and do not plug the belt buckle wire back into the harness.

Wonderdan

I think people code out the belt when they don’t want to have it either plugged in or buy a dummy buckle when they are in a 5 point harness, is that what your referring to?

powdrhound

Yes, that's why some people would wanna code it out. What I was trying to say is that the seat belt buckle does not have anything to do with the airbag lights per se. It's a separate item. That link posted above made it seem like it needs to be done to get rid of the airbag light and that's not the case.

Wonderdan

ahh gotcha, ya I missed that detail . maybe there is something in common about how they can be reset.
