When wiggling the middle of the 3 connectors under the passenger seat, I can get one of the values to switch between "too high" and ok (or so).

Measuring Block screen shots:

 

You're gonna notice that it only shows up when you have passenger's in the back seat, its a common code to come up on B5's. It usually happens when folks push their legs against the back seat or under it. There really isn't any fix for it.

 

I had this pop on me this weekend. Is there a fix so that I can clear the code/light?

vtraudt when you wiggle the wire will it not "stay" wiggled?

auditech79 when I noticed the light I didn't have any passengers at all. I did however dump the clutch a little hard.

 

The fault im talking about is temporary, the light should go off when the key is cycled. If your's stays lit all the time you have a faulty airbag.

 

Crap.

 

Actually theres a fix for this what is going on is the wire is getting loose so what u do is, put a tie wrap around the airbag connector and than clear the codes and no more codes =]]

i believe the how to is here

More likely, faulty wiring or connector.

 

Would this DIY work? My harness attaches to the seat not the floor.
