Absolute star - Airbag warning light = MOT fail. My door wiring loom was the culprit also the drivers side electric window lines had snapped. It's a faff to fix but ultimately is works!

Thank you buddy,this helped me out a lot.

Thanks for this. Have this exact same issue/code with my audi a3. I hope i can muster the courage to the same fix you did and fix it.

Thank you so much. Saved a lot of head scratching trying to diagnose the fault. 🙂.

you are awesome thank you

Wow! One wire was completely split in half who would have ever known thank you!

Fantastic...was exactly my issue along with the driver door bass speaker...no more codes 😊 1 tip - I unplugged the harness from the frame...made repairing the wires much easier.

Very helpful video Thanks

Good man, Exact same problem here on 2007 A3,

Thanks video, I have nearside side air bag code; thinking on my trade-in Audi A3 Sportback be the wiring into door boot. Why does this seam to happen to VAG group cars and not say Fords/Vauxs? What causes wires to break too? thanks Dan

Sweet. Where can I get one of those Del-Phi diagnostic machine? How much does it cost? Thank you

Thanks for your contribution and the mechanics have me when they take the hill to scam me.

if I fix the wires will the airbag light go off straight away or do I need a fault code machine to clear them?

What were you using to run the diagnostics? What hardware/software combination do we need?

We used a generic Chinese scanner tcs ds150/e kit (scanner, cables and software) and a laptop running Win7

Where on earth do Audi buy their wire? I've never had this sort of issue before, but I had exactly the same on my A4, pretty much had to repair every wire in the loom to the door and now my A3 has the ABWL on, suspect it could be the same thing.

Es verdad lo mire estaba roto

I had yo add a bit of wire to make the cables meet would that be ok

If it clears the error then yes and well done

Hi. I had same problem with my Audi. The light is still on. Will this need resetting with a VAG

Yes it will...cannot just unplug the battery either.

Do you know if it is possible to just replace the wiring harness, as opposed to trying to solder the wires together? My soldering skill suck. I tried looking online, but I didn't see anything for wiring related to airbags. Maybe I'm not good at parts searches either. 😁

I believe the wiring harness you’d need comes in a short section with plugs. You may be able to source it at a dealership or maybe at a car breakers yard. Personally buying a soldering iron, solder, flux paste and heat shrink would probably cost a lot less. Then watch a few how to videos on YT and do a few test solders on sample wiring

Do you need to remove battery terminals before attempting? I don’t have a code for the radio unless I take it out to read serial number.

No, we did not disconnect the battery and it worked out just fine. You would not be causing a short circuit as you are rejoining original wiring

What happens if you the airbags deploy. On a A4 2017 will the engine run. Or does the airbags need to be fixed first. Or is that completely two separate things.?

My 2006 audi a4 b7 fault code 01217 side airbag igniter airbag driverside, i bypass the yellow wire under drivers chair airbag light still ON.

VAG error code 01217. This indicates that the Igniter resistance measured by the Airbag controller exceeded the maximum allowable spec. With our error 01221 we located broken wiring and when fixed the error light went out. There are other videos on YT showing error code 01217 and a possible fix. Hope this helps
