I think the airbag code is caused by a plug under the driver's (or passenger's i suppose) front seat. See ImTheDevil's photo album. I've never heard of the radio antenna throwing a code, nor have i ever seen the "rough road..." code before. Hopefully one of the tech's will be able to help ya.

 

CCA4 is right about the connector under the seat for the side airbag. To get at the seatbelt tensioner you have to remove some trim to get to the connection for that (located by the seatbelt retractor obviously), since both faults are sporadic i would bet on both of them being loose/coroded wiring issues. The other possiblities for bad wiring could be at the Airbag module, or a connector station which is far less likely. Its possible that if you cleaned the connection under the seat and reseated the connector and reset the codes, the seatbelt tensioner might not come back.

You dont have a VAG listed for the ABS module, that might shed a little more light on the rough road signal. The ABS module sends a signal to the ECU when your brakes are pulsing so that the ECU will ignore any misfires from the engine because of a rough road. Not sure if that would throw a CEL or not in itself, but you would need to fix those other issues that you said you know the reason for.

The open circuit for the radio antenna could be as simple as a loose connection at the back of the radio, or it could be a bad antenna. But if your getting reception Id clear it and forget about it becuase it wont throw a light on the dash or anything.

 

there is no light for the abs modual cause vag com couldn't talk to it........


i talked to kompressed, and he said it is cause my modual is shot


i think the radio one could be because my radio was on...... i normally get a central lock one with the doors open, but they were closed.....

main thing i was looking for was the airbag........ i always thought the underseat fix, was for something else..... will try that, and thanks for the heads up on the tensioner

 

i think the airbag fix was for the front driver's side. i don't remember that well cause it's been a while since i vagged imthedevil's car. i'm the local vag guy lol. either way, i rly hope it's just a ghost code and goes away after you clear it. as for the radio code, i don't think i ever got it when vagging my car with the radio on, i don't think i could vag the car without the radio on lol, gets too boring sitting there

 

how do you kill the check engine light?

and the airbag light, i have the $199 version and it lets me clear the history, but not the light

 

That means its popping the code again. You will have to repair it before it will be gone permanently.

 

just talked to ross-tech.... he said cause i have a 3rd party cable i have to go in and manually clear it/them.....
