What does the illuminated airbag warning light on my Volkswagen Golf 4 mean? And how do you reset it?
Years 1997-2003

Answer

The Airbag light activates when you have a malfunction in the airbag system and then informs you that the airbags are deactivated. To reset it, a diagnostic tool must be connected to the car's OBD port. It will be necessary to disconnect the airbags by disconnecting the relative connector positioned under the carpet which is located in the front area of the driver's seat. When the sensor is disconnected, it will be necessary to reset the warning light using the diagnostic tool and only when the procedure is completed will it be necessary to reconnect it. At this point you can unplug the scanner and you can check that the light has been reset.
