Part: Warning light – error code

The scan can be performed at a shop or independently: in the video description, there is a link to a diagnostic tool that can be used to reset the light on your own. Once the tool is connected to the OBD port, you need to find the error stored in the ECU and clear it after resolving the airbag issue.
