I need some help/direction in my attempts to clear the airbag warning light. At first the 2004 VW beetle tdi/bew would report that the airbag control module was not functioning, so I sent it away to be reset. Now it is reporting the following codes.

Have you talked to whoever you sent the control module to?

The odds of all of these airbag components, failing at the same time, are pretty remote; with the above Ross Tech definition points to wiring problems or the component itself, being bad. The next thing is to view, the reader blocks to actually see if the airbags are seen through the controller and harness.

What scan tool, are you using and can it read, live data?

Do you have any history on this vehicle and were the airbags deployed in an accident? Which specific module did you have “repaired”?
