If it has a ECU it's complicated :)

I have a mate with a Mk3 golf and has put an aftermarket steering wheel on with no airbag, the warning light is on so the magic question is can it be turned off, i have access to VAGcom or rosstech 22.3 but no idea how to use it.

Is it possible to bridge the connection where the airbag should be so the computer thinks the airbag is still present and correct?

We tried a resistor and a wire but it has not cured it, that said maybe with the VAGcom it might help.

You need a resistor about 2.5ohms and you’ll need to reset the SRS DTCs after fitting. It probably won’t just ‘go away’ after putting it in. Bear in mind it’s an MOT fail to have obviously removed an airbag. Not telling you not to do it, just a friendly reminder  |

Also bear in mind that removing a safety feature of the car such as this will probably affect the insurance. It could be regarded as a major modification as potentially the driver could sustain more severe injuries in an accident where the air bag would have previously been deployed. Failure to disclose this modification could render the insurance invalid.

You won't be able to code it out with VAG COM. Resistor and srs reset as said by others.

Indeed, just if the light comes on and goes off it’s pretty obvious |
