Default Fixed airbag code 00588.

I kept getting the following code: 00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95)
33-10 - Resistance too Low - Intermittent

SmokinS4 was having a similar code and replaced his spiral spring and that fixed it. He was also nice enough to make a writeup on replacing it and recoding the steering angle sensor. I followed his instructions and it hasn't thrown a code yet so I believe it is resolved. It was really easy, only took about an hour to replace it and recode the sensor.

A big thanks to SmokinS4 and everyone else who helped him out.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2343304.phtml">SmokinS4's spiral spring replacement writeup</a></li></ul>

So once you change it you need to restart the system? To clear the code????

Because I just changed the clock spring and the Air bag light is still on but I have restated or cleared the code yet.

Will it go away once I clear the codes?
