Seat airbag problem

Are there any wizkids out there who know how to bypas the seat airbag warning light after activation. What signal does the aibag give to the module when installed ready for use? Can this signal be simulated after the bag has activated before taking to the garage to reset the warning light?

the warning light can be reset with vag com but will come right back until you put a new airbag in the seat, i know somone with a diploid driver seat airbag and only way he can get it turned off is new airbag in the seat

the control unit will now be unusable at all .
to fix it you will need to replace the airbag and control unit and seat cover and have the frame inspected for damage.
then the system recoded to know how many air bags /pretensioners are fitted and get all the dtc's cleared.
and this work needs to be done by someone who knows what they are doing

as goble says the frame will need inspection as they can twist the frame new back rest seat cover will be needed as stiching is ripped when air bag is deployeyd the airbag module will need to be replaced and the airbag itself! then finally the airbag light can be reset using diagnostics kit! dont play unless you know what you are doing as if its not done properly and in the correct order then getting a loose airbag fired into your face at extream temperatures and speed can be life threatning!!!
