How to reset VW golf mk5 airbag light?.

I have a VW golf mk5 2.0 gt tdi 2007. I had to remove the connection for the passenger airbag to fit a amplifier cable. When I connected everything back up the airbag warning light is illuminated?. Has anyone had similar problems with airbag warning lights and solved the problem?. I've seen some OBD11 diagnostic scanners that can communicate with airbags on eBay, shall I just get one of those or is there an easier way to to get rid of this annoying ****** light?.

The light will reset when the fault that turned it on is diagnosed and repaired. At this time your airbags are disabled, drive carefully.

SOURCE: airbag light on instrument panel flashes then stays illuminated

Some vehicles you can disconnect the battery for 10-20 mins and it usually resets a check engine light. But the airbag light is different. This means there is something wrong with the airbag system and it will not go out until maintenance.

SOURCE: How do reset the airbags warning light?

Some cars are designed to illuminate the warning light after the battery is disconnected. Playing around with the airbags and trying to turn this light off can be dangerous. That is why most people recommend taking it to the dealership to have it turned off. It might cost a few bucks but would be cheaper than having to replace the air bag if you accidentaly set it off while trying to turn the light off. I know that most people would like to try and fix it themselves, but just consider what might happen if you accidental perform a wrong step. Hope this helps

Vw golf mk5 airbag fault wires cut under seat reconnected does it require fault reset

You can reset the Airbag ECU only using VAG or similar diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car, even you had repaired first fault wires cut under seat! After all faults erasing from the Airbag ECU the airbag warning light will turn OFF.
