I have a 2003 vw mk4. But there is something wrong with the airbag. So I purchased xtool vag401 to read the fault code and clear it. Today I’d like to share how I reset the airbag light successfully.
The vag401 I bought is from obdiitool.co.uk. It just cost me 37 pounds. It’s far exceeded my expectation. Though it’s cheap but also comes with good quality.
It’s easy to do the basic code reading and maintenance reminder reset.
This is my mk4 dashboard before resetting.
I connect this xtool v401 to my car via the main cable, and it can start to work.
Enter diagnosis system, then common system, select airbag
Wait for the device connecting and reading system info…
It read out my car system info.
Then it goes to read data and enter airbag menu.
It reads one fault code of the airbag and clears it successfully
Look! The airbag light on the dashboard disappears.
This is the single most useful tool I have in my toolbox for working on my mk4. I’m extremely glad I bought this code scanner. I will use it to do more functions. Recommend for the value and performance DIY user!
