VAG (Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda) Airbag Reset Tool user

manual

After car crash and airbag deployment, VW-Audi airbag sensor can by locked (Control
unit faulty or deployed) and must be replaced. Even after small accident Airbag sensor will write
in internal memory special error message "crash data stored" or “computer fault” and after you
need to exchange very expensive sensor to new one. With our VAG Airbag Reset Tool you can
reset and repair airbag computer in your office in 1 minute. No need to remove airbag sensor
from the car.

How VW-Audi Airbag Reset Tool works:

Very simple user instruction: connect this tool to VW-Audi OBD II connector (for cars
from year 1996-2002). Right red button near to yellow light diode is for airbag "crash data"
erase. Push this button once and wait: yellow light start to flash and after 15 second green light
inform you that "crash data" is erased. Red light set ON if erasing is not successful. Right black
button (near to red light diode) is for erase airbag "fault memory" or "errors". If airbag warning
lamp go OFF and immediately ON - evaluate airbag "error memory" using any VAG K-line scanner
or VAS5051 or similar dealer equipment and repair according error code.
VW-Audi Airbag Reset Tool has incorporated fully automatic airbag sensor type recognition. VAG
Airbag Reset Tool works without additional computer and thought car OBD II connector can
erase airbag sensor "crash data" or only fault memory.

Works with these cars:

Older VW-Audi cars. In some cases use OBD to VAG old type converter (VAS-5051-2 not
included in package). Sensors with white or orange 30-pin connector.

You can connect this sensor on the table and erase crash data using our VAG Airbag Tool.
Use this wiring:

Airbag sensor: K-line = pin 67 (connected with car OBDII connector pin 7), GND = pin 66, +12V
= pin 65, airbag lamp = pin 68 and 70;
VAG Airbag Reset Tool: K-line = pin 12, GND = pin 4+5, +12V = pin 16

VW cars 2000-2004 airbag sensors with yellow 75-pin connector.

- VW - Golf IV, Passat B5, Sharan: 6Q0 909 605 A, 6Q0 909 605 B - SIEMENS - Crash
data erase, Fault erase;
- VW - Golf IV, Passat B5, Sharan: 1C0 909 605 C, 1C0 909 605 F, 1C0 909 605
H, 6Q0 909 605 C - SIEMENS - Crash data erase, Fault erase;
- VW - Passat B6: new SIEMENS - Crash data erase, Fault erase;
- VW- Polo;

These sensors use CAN bus. In some cases this airbag type “crash erase” works only
on the table. If by OBDII connector you can’t erase crash data, try to disconnect
instrument cluster blue connector and erase by OBDII again. If red diode indicates
crash data erase error, you must remove airbag sensor from the car, connect it on the
table and now erasing must by OK.

New Audi, VW from 2002 airbag sensors.

Airbag sensor from VW-Audi (A3, A4, A6, A8 2002-2005, Touareg) have diagnostic by CAN bus.
But K-line is still used. Some times K-line is not connected to OBDII connector. To repair these
sensors you must remove it from the car and connect on the table. Is possible to read and write
airbag sensor internal CR16 (80 QFP) EEPROM memory by K-line. Works with all VW-Audi airbag
sensors with National CR16 (80 pin QFP) inside.

How to work with these airbag modules? New Audi and VW cars airbag sensors have many
different software versions. First we planed to release VW-Audi Airbag Reset Tool update with
automatic "crash data" erase, but after many customers questions about new cars airbag repair,
we released CR16 programmer by OBDII connector. These sensors have VIN number stored in
airbag ECU and you can’t change all memory. To erase “crash data”, you must do EEPROM
modification by yourself.

Remove and open airbag sensor. For Read/Write VW-Audi airbag sensor microcontroller CR16
internal EEPROM, you short processor pin 13 to GND like in picture:

You can install sensor back to the car or connect this sensor on the table. Some cars don’t have
K-line, in this case use connection on the table.

Use this wiring:

Airbag sensor: K-line = pin 67 (connected with car OBDII connector pin 7), GND = pin 66, +12V
= pin 65, airbag lamp = pin 68 and 70;
VAG Airbag Reset Tool: K-line = pin 12, GND = pin 4+5, +12V = pin 16;

Apply +12V power supply and read and save original EEPROM. Now you can try to do EEPROM
modification, install sensor to the car (disconnect pin 13 wire!) and see “crash data” status. In
most cases some EEPROM part modification to 00 or to FF erase crash data.
