I'm not sure about the " Faulty Airbag " light, but normally if the lights for ASB, ESP and Tyre Pressure come on this indicates a Faulty ASB sensor, commonly on one of the back wheels but not always.Yesterday the ABS light quickly followed by the ESP light and now tonight the Faulty Airbag light comes on
Are these all connected?
I dare not put the key in tomorrow!!
Help Please

I have had the DTC downloaded and the ABS is a right rear sensor, easy fix! The Airbag is
00589 - Airbag Igniter; Passenger Side (N131): Resistance too Low
Does anyone have any ideas please?

It's on the passenger sideCould be the Clockspring. I replaced one in my T5.
Is it the yellow plug under the seat that you 'fiddle' with?I have this regularly on my 2012. Luckily my Carista resets it after a little manual fiddle under the passenger seat wiring. Pain in the ar$e.
I think you’ll need a garage to reset - my local mechanic used to do mine - 2 min job that VW will charge £80+ for doing.
I had heard the low battery thing - I have it on charge as I type! Thank YouWe had an airbag error lot on an older BMW, was caused by a low engine battery. Changed the battery then no issues.

I literally just wiggle the wires around that - it usually happens to us after spinning chair around. But until it’s reset it turns the airbags off I believeIs it the yellow plug under the seat that you 'fiddle' with?

I thought it strange on the OSR...so the bearing sort of makes sense. I had this with my Landrover with the ABS triggering on fast corners as an early warning of worn front wheel bearingsHad ABS, ESP & Tyre pressure lamps. Diagnosed as drivers side sensor rear drivers side. In my case because bearing wear causing sensor to rub, replacing only sensor would result in early failure again. VW quoted £500 for bearing & sensor replacement but local VW Specialist garage did both bearing & sensor for £305. Not cheap but better than main dealer and one of those jobs that can turn into a nightmare in your drive if nuts/bolts corroded etc.
I'm trying to ascertain if 00589.003 - Airbag Igniter; Passenger Side (N131): Resistance too Low is the seat or the glove box?I have this regularly on my 2012. Luckily my Carista resets it after a little manual fiddle under the passenger seat wiring. Pain in the ar$e.

I think N131 could mean main airbag (not side/seat) having looked at VW group forums.I'm trying to ascertain if 00589.003 - Airbag Igniter; Passenger Side (N131): Resistance too Low is the seat or the glove box?
