Airbag Light Reset ... Dealer Wants to Charge ??
Hey all, Happy New Year!
I'm in need of a little advice ... I called the Dealer to go in and schedule an Oil & Filter Change -- it's free. I figured that while I was there, I'd have them reset their airbag light that came on after I had the passenger seat pulled out to get into the rear cubby a little easier.
They said they could do it, but there would be a $80 charge to reset the system. Because the 'Whole System Needs to be Reset'. Do I really need to pay someone $80 to plug a wire in and press 'Clear' ?
Thanks!

To confirm, this only occurs when the seat is disconnected and the ignition is switched to On?

And yes, I think they should fix this for free since it's a matter of hooking up a wire and pressing clear. I could do it myself if I had the right computer. So ... next question ... anyone have a brand/model of Diag Computer that will reset this for me?

just wanted to type a quick thank you to raceboy for posting that procedure. Even though the battery was disconnected and key was out, I had the light after the JDM NISMO (airbag equipped) steering wheel install - this got rid of it
