The seventh-generation Golf had its début in late 2012 at the Paris Motor Show.

Airbag light not going out

I took the seats out of my mk7 to clean the carpets and after connecting everything back up , the dash is showing an airbag fault. Any ideas..?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi @zarliwoop

Looking at the body interior section of the repair manual, the battery needs to be disconnected and also a special air bag lockout adapter needs to be fitted to the wiring harness under the seat before commencing to remove the seat. (see p.429 → of the manual)

Also it appears that if there's an airbag indicator light after reinstalling the seat, the error needs to be cleared from the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) memory using a diagnostic tester unit - see p.438 of the manual.

You may have to go to a dealer to get it cleared.
