Default If it eventually goes out, you can probably reset it with VAG-COM and it will be OK

But it that doesn't work, you may have to spend some money.

Default funny thing is, you cannot reset these things with anything...

they dont require resetting...each time the ignition is switched off, it looses memory...then back on, it performs the self test...

Audi has a specific airbag tester tool...but you have to pull out the center stack to get to the airbag module, and they will prolly charge through the nose to do that..

if it takes a solid 4-5 MINUTES to go off, then more than likely you have a wiring fault, or a dead module...

ive been there, and done that

Default I know on B4s you can reset the airbag system/pull codes/etc. with the VAG-COM...

...I thought you could with some B3s/CQs too, no?
