I purchased a 2013 Audi A4 that was in some cosmetic rear end damage, which I had repaired. The air bags did not deploy however the seat belt Igniters did. I had the drivers side seat belt repaired and the airbag module reprogrammed, then reinstalled the parts. Codes for those problems were cleared but I found another problem: all three rear seat belts have also ignited. I now have three airbag codes left: 9439515 (drivers side rear), 9439259 (Passenger side rear), and 9441819 (center rear). I am looking for a way to bypass the repair on these seat belts as they all retract and lock just fine. I have tried jumping the connectors with different resistors: 2.2, 2.2 and .47 together, and 3.4, but none have cleared the codes. I'm looking for help with getting these codes off. Has anyone tried the resistor trick or have any tips on dealing with rear seat belt pretensioner?

I did this recently to remove the rear seat backs with the center seat belt. I used a 200 ohm resistor, my pack said "1 R" on it.

Nick Osborne. Did you fix the problem? I'm having the same problem with the same 2 codes.

It seems to indemic to this model A4. Are the seat belt ignitor just bad to begin with. I dropped my rear seats to load a large package and after returning the seats back to their upright position I get a warning lite. Resistance to high on center seat belt!
