Hi!

I have a problem with the airbag warning lamp.
I read from VCDS and this is what it say:

01219 - Rear side Airbag Igniter; Driver side (N201)
001 - Upper Limit Exceeded - MIL ON

is it correct that the problem may be the connector under the rear seat?

I found a post that say how to remove the rear seats, but is it the same way when i have electric adjustable rear seats with massage, heating and ventilation?

Should be the same just when you get theremore connections

Don't forget to disconnect the battery!!!

I cant find any good way to pull out the seats... It looks like everything is moving with the seat... And it looks like the rear seat is splitted in 3... Left, center and right...

I have this same MIL / DTC code popping up for my knee airbag on the drivers side. I'm assuming it's the connector. I reset it and sometimes it stays off for a bit, other itmes it pops back up right away.

The official Audi TSB on the rear seat is to take the connector out and direct solder the wires together but most of us here have had good results with Deoxit electrical contact cleaner. It's been talked about a bunch of times and I have used it to fix the same DTC.

It was the connector under the left rear seat...
Disconnected, spray of contact cleaner and re-connected...
The warning lamp has not come back...

But i never got the rear seats out... Adjusted the seat to the highest point, and i just get hold in the connector under the seat.
