Audi A4 B6 Airbag Light On. FIX SIDE AIRBAG IGNITER. Air Bag Light
► Our Website for Tools, Parts and more Videos: mechaniclifestyle.com
We took this video to show you one of the common reasons why AUDI A4 B6 generation Airbag Light might come on. On this generation the connection under the seat quits working overtime and your airbag light will be on. We tried to reset it with VAG COM but the code come right back and it states:
SIDE Airbag igniter upper limit exceeded.
See our video to see how we fixed it. We found it online and it is supposed to be approved procedure by Audi.
This should work on Audi A4 B6 generation and Also on some A6 A3 and A8.

Hello, how are you... I have a 2002 3.0. Disassemble the steering wheel to change the starter switch and when I assemble everything again, the airbag light turns on, check if I counted it correctly and if I did, but it stays on and before this repair it was not on. I annul the connector and put it direct?. Thanks.....

@CraigMansfield 2 жыл бұрын

I get the airbag light, but no airbag fault code on my scanner 🤣😂 I just wiggled the yellow connector and it's interesting to see that the red light went off then back on again. Leads me to think that this fix will work for me too. I'm worried about disconnecting the battery because I don't want to lose the use of the CD player.. I don't care about the radio but I want to keep the CD player working

I have a 2002 VW Passat Wagon GLS V6 4Motion, my airbag light came on and I had it diagnosed at the dealer. They said it was the passenger side curtain airbag that is causing the fault. Would I use the same procedure for the passenger side? Or do I need to replace the airbag?

@VioletGiraffe 4 жыл бұрын

Obviously, the problem is poor contact inside the connector, but apparently it's a very common issue and Audi does indeed recommend cutting the connector and hard-wiring it instead.

@Ormigo111 3 күн бұрын

I have an Audi A3 and I purposely removed the connected wires from the seats since I don't use any warming feature or other stuffs I thought they were completely useless. Now the airbag light is on. Can smo explain me what has to do an airbag with the seats. Is it when I have an accident the seat will propell me to the moon?😂

@calm4477 3 жыл бұрын

@@Naughty_Squad it wasn’t the connector or the sensor that was at fault. If you remove the seat back and look along the bottom, you will see a horizontal metal support, this breaks and creates a sharp end, this sharp end rubs on the wiring loom for the airbag. It eventually pushes through the wire insulation and creates the fault, because it earths whichever wire it breaks into. Seat back removal, prise gently from the top, looking down you will see where it’s held, use a long flat blade screwdriver lever the seat back off at both sides, take care it’s quite fragile, bottom part will come off when you pull it straight up.

@@calm4477 I will definitely try that. I tried to tidy up my quick job and done it properly, but it still came back. Tried to clean the connectors under the carpet pladtic, but nothing helped.

@CraigMansfield 2 жыл бұрын

Of course. The purpose of the connectors is just in case you need to remove the seat from the car. Joining the wires together just takes the connector out of the equation. The electricity just flows through the wires instead of through the wires, through one side of a connector, another side of the connector then the wires again. Nothing is different until you need to take the seat out of the car..... Then you'd need to cut your wires to have that separation. I'll try and draw a little diagram. --------| |--------- --------| |--------- (that's the wires with a connector) -------------------- -------------------- (that's the wires that are joined together). Electricity flows through both, but the second one doesn't have a dodgy connector that's causing the error code.

why would you use a pair of grips/pliers to close the inline crimps ? you have no guarantee of a proper compression joint. anything other than dedicated crimpers is a bog job and likely to fail in the long run. tapeing and double tapeing the joint ???? this person is definitely no auto eletrician, has the answer but not the means to do a professional job.
