Airbag light on all time

The airbag light is constant on , it will not turn off.

Morning, I have the same problem, however my RS2 is 26 years old and the air bags have a shelf life of about 15 years. I was told they can re gas the unit, as there are a couple of companies who do the re gassing.

Vcds is the tool to use. I think there is a code for ”lamp broken”. Even when a new lamp is replaced the code remains and has to be deleated.
