AIRBAG Warning Light Troubleshooting Instructions

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Warning light – error code

If the AIRBAG warning light remains on the instrument cluster display, perform a diagnostic check to identify the correct fault code and evaluate the necessary intervention: the diagnosis refers to the driver seat detonator, indicating that the upper limit of the signal has been exceeded; experience suggests this anomaly is due to a loose connection of the connector located directly under the seat, and the solution involves removing the connector and making a direct connection of the wires; proceed by removing the seat, first taking off the plastic covers at the ends of the tracks, then unscrewing the mounting pins; once the seat is removed, disconnect the yellow connector and connect the wires directly.
