Hello guys..!!

Today I retrofitted the reverse flip camera logo. It gave a lot of work... But it is pretty cool.

I wanted to ask about something. When I was installing the camera I removed one of the side trim panels of the dashboard (from the passenger side), which has an airbag connector, you can see the piece in one of the images. I passed the ignition with this panel disconnected and I saw an alert on the dash screen saying that there is a problem with the airbag. I didn't worry because I assumed it should be because this panel was disconnected.

However, after connecting and fitting all trim plastic panels again, I still have this alert on the dash screen. Any advice? I don't know how to remove it.. It's weird that it keeps showing the error and I checked the connector was correctly fitted.

This is the plastic panel I removed and fit back again: This is the alert on the dash screen: I thought the alert would disappear after connecting back the trim plastic piece. But it is not the case.

Thanks guys. You are an awesome community. Best regards from France.

I think once the Airbag Control Module logged a fault, it will need something like VCDS to access the Airbag Control Module and clear the fault code.

Yup- once logged, it needs to be cleared properly to get rid of the warning. Not sure if you need a proper VW scan tool or if any regular scan tool can do it though.

Thanks @vc-10, @ho8882000. I have to do the 30k km service soon, I will ask people from VW to remove it then.

I think for the future, always remove the battery +VE lead and switch on the ignition for 5 minutes, then switch the ignition off (to drain any stored charge) before working on any part of the Airbag system.

Yes, I should have done that haha.. Thanks for the advice

I did the same when fitting a RVC. Cleared the fault code in VCDS and all good. Didn't need to log into any modules.
