    Airbag lamp is on and using VEMS

    Hi

    Had a problem a year ago when charging the carbattery from the engine bay, used a start booster and the car started. Sadly there was a electric spike that took out the airbag unit, checked with Audi here in Sweden and they said is was a faulty airbag unit. Bought a used unit from a car that hasent been crashed and changed it today. The only thing i did was to disconnect the battery and changed the unit. But when i reconnect the battery the light is still on

    Do i need to resest some fault codes or what to do?

    And another thing, meanwhile I had a faulty airbag unit I changed the motronic ecu with VEMS, are these 2 separate systems so I can reset the fault codes I have on the airbag unit or is it not possible now when I´m using the VEMS?

    Regards

    Went to the stealer today and for ~25£ he checked it out with his computer and found 2 fault code with the new airbag unit, reseted them and now it works ! seems like the old unit was fried and the new "old" box just had some fault code in them. Now it´s working

      I managed to get rid of the airbag warning light this weekend using the freeware version of VCDS-Lite 1.0

      Pretty happy with that
