DIY: [How-To:] Racing Seat airbag light fix

Hmmm.
This worked great on the drivers side, however when i did the passenger side too, now the light won't go off. Have tried many times, also rechecked all the connections. Do you have to do the weight sensor as well to get the light to go out?

Yes. If you do the reset sequence, when you are done you will notice the dash indicator blinks two times slow, followed by 5 fast flashes. This pattern indicates the weight sensor is malfunctioning (in our case becuase it ain't hooked up) ... I am not a rocket scientist but everything I have read would indicate all air bags are functioning properly except for the passenger side. Not sure yet how I am going to fix that.

Awesome, didn't see your reply before, thanks! I'll have to pull the weight sensor out and hook it up with the new seat. Repped.

Pleasure. It's on page SRC-182 in the service manual (2010) ... that code sequence means the classification unit is malfunctioning. Anyone changing out seats will prolly benefit from that page as it has a chart with all the sequences.
