Anybody?? Someone must know what these faults mean?? I have tried to research but not having any luck finding any info

try clearing the faults from the modules rather than clearing after an autoscan.

[Craig1989]

I have tried that and the faults still keep coming back!!! I the b7 fitted with a pass sear sensor?? I just find it strange that I have got these 3 faults and have no airbag light on!!!!!

Ok thanks for that what do you think I should do make sure the coding it correct and maby perform a reset and see if it goes away???

I would try a battery dis-connect first, if that doesn't work try to reset the module.

Thanks for the info I will try that in the next couple of days and let you know how it's goes!!! Thanks again

hi all, today i got a chance to get the vag com back on the car and try and sort out these airbag faults!, i tryed to reset the pass sensor but all 3 faults keep coming up. also i noticed that on my dash i can actually see a airbag warning light!! when i mean i cant see it i mean that when the ignition is turned off you can see the outline of each symbol like the engine management ect. i cannot see now outline of a picture or words saying airbag. i have googled the fault and gone to images and there are loads of images of peoples airbag light on and theres is next to the engine managment light. now the space next to my engine managment is blank there is nothing in there. can someone confirm where the light is located as i do find it very strange that there is not one. the last fault that i have got is that

01591 - Indicator Lamp for Airbag Off; Drivers Side (K144)
009 -- Open or Short to Ground - MIL ON
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 11101001
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 1
Time Indication: 0

does this fault have something to do with it????

do i need to take the car to an audi dealer to get it looked at????

any advice is appreciated

many thanks

do a segment test on the instrument cluster and see does the light come on. also check the cluster for faults while your there

[Craig1989]

hi, i have jsut plugged her in a done a segment test, everything seems to be working fine!!! but there is no airbag warning light??????????? what now?? im sure every car has to have a airbag warning light!! just to let you know that i dis does tell me that the passenger air bag is on when the igntion is turned on!!

[Craig1989]

Any body got any ideas?? I got a funny feeling that the last owner knew it had a problem and blanked the light off!!! Coz I have checked 4 audis now and they all have the light that comes on when the ignition is turned on?? Should i take it to an audi specialist ????????
