Default AirBag Light Off using VCDS/Vag.Com

Hey,
a little update before;
friend tries to fix the squeaking sound of my front-passenger side seat and pulls the cable of the airbag too much.. causing my airbag light to trigger On.

Afterwards, tried plugging My VCDS-Lite (vag.com) to clear the codes and I get an "Too many communication errors", when trying to access the airbag module.

Soo.. I said to myself; "Maybe unplugging the battery over the night could fix it".. .. ..Wrong! Still there the next morning.
Then, tried to access the Airbag Module Again... Now; "No Response from the module" [maybe at this point it's corrupted? -_-']

-------->
New Solution; since I turned off my "Worn Brake Pads light" in the cluster control with VCDS-Lite/Vag.com.. Is there a way to turn Off the AirBag Light?
<-------
I tried searching, but it gives me irrelevant information.
Is there a way to turn that dam dumb light off without using electric tape to mask it..! XD

Get used to it.

I think it's part of my cluster now. Just be thankful it isn't that awful orange CEL. Baby K tried clearing mine, which is a result of doing a steering wheel swap, but he had no luck.

I know I'm sorry.

I wish I had a VAG com myself. I'd be able to give you a better answer.

well,
I'll take it to the dealership and see if they can access It..
BTW!
At the Dealership, you can buy OEM Windshield wipers for 16CAD each side [stating this cuz it's not always that bad buying at the dealership XD]

Yep you wont be able to just turn the light off through the instrument cluster, the airbag module will need to be reset. Try a different baud rate.
