Airbag Reset tool (for E85 2003)?

Post by IAmOrion » Tue Sep 04, 2018 6:51 pm

Having recently done some work on my car, and removed / reconnected / removed the battery again multiple times (and removing steering wheel airbag etc) I've managed to trip my Airbag light a couple of times - mainly from being an idiot and forgetting to reconnect an airbag before I reconnect the power to test something.

Anyways, on to my question - Does anyone know of a SUCCESSFUL tool that can quickly and easily reset/turn off the Airbag light via the OBD2 port?

My C310+ Doesn't do it despite having an SRS Airbag menu item,
Carly doesn't do it.

FWIW: I have a laptop with ISTA etc - so I can reset the light that way, but I'm specifically trying to see if anyone knows of a quicker handheld tool that does it so I don't have to dig my laptop and cable out each time I'm an idiot

I have the same problem after replacing a window regulator. Would love to know the answer too. I bought an AC808 srs reset device on eBay that I was recommended but it hasn’t worked. I am planning to take it to a Indi shop to get it done. I need a fluids changeover which I will get done at the same time unless someone can help with other reset tools advice.

Most people recommend the C110+ on here but I'm not sure what the difference is between that and the C310+ as the specs sound very similar. Are you sure you don't have an actual airbag fault somewhere?

The C310+ is the next model up from the C110 I believe. With that said, I've since re used the C310+ and I'd simply not pressed the correct thing, so as it turns out the C310+ WILL clear the Airbag light after all - I was just being dumb :rofl:
