Any advice welcome on my Airbag Light Problem

[drakeman70]

First of all i,d like to say hello, My name is David.

The Airbag Light on my 2001 A2 TDI 75 has been on a while now and i finally got round to doing a diagnostic scan on it.

The result of the scan can up with this fault code:- 00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95): Resistance too High
00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95)

00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95): Resistance too Low

00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95): Resistance too High

00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver side (N95): Short to positive

00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver side (N95): Short to ground

Possible Symptoms

• Airbag Warning Light active

Possible Causes

• Wiring from/to Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95) faulty
• Coil Spring with Slip Ring (F138) faulty
• Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95) faulty

Possible Solutions

• Check Wiring from/to Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95)
• Check Coil Spring with Slip Ring (F138)
• Check Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95)

Special Notes

• When "Short to positive" or "Short to ground" is found, DO NOT CLEAR THE DTC. This can cause the airbag to deploy. See repair manual for more information.
