This thread will mostly deal with the use of the VWTool software to read and erase the airbag fault codes. The only 3rd party product I found that has direct mention of being compatible with the VW Cabriolet airbag controller is the old VWTool / VDS-Pro software. Ross-Tech noted the incompatibility in their. VAG-COM / VCDS does not communicate with the airbag controller. VAG 1551, despite being old and outdated, is hard to find and expensive to buy. The official VW tech literature, Tech Talk video # 225, and the Bentley service manual calls for the use VAG 1551 diagnostic tester and the factory service microfiche / microfilm. According to the VW service literature I have, the airbag system won’t deploy if any one of the two red airbag warning lights in the instrument cluster is illuminated. An automatic seat belt would also meet the passive restraint requirement, but the owners of cars with automatic seat belts can vouch its awkwardness and inconvenience.Ĭ# Read Pst File Without Outlook. Quick history recap: The in the United States “require cars produced after April 1st 1989 to be equipped with a passive restraint for the driver.” VW met this requirement for the Cabriolet model by implementing a Siemens-based airbag system. This thread contains instruction to read and reset airbag code and turn off warning lights. *** There have been some talks in the forum about the code read and warning light reset procedure for the airbag system equipped in the 1990-1993 VW Cabriolet.
