Hi all,

I've just swapped over a manual (no electric seat adjustment) drivers seat for one from an HSE (electric + memory). I've managed to do the swap fine but I'm left with the airbag light on the dashboard being illuminated. As far as I can tell, the replacement seat hasn't been in an accident - I'm basing that statement on the fact that the outer bolster isn't split open and the airbag clearly deployed.

I intend to check the bolt which connects the seat belt return to the seat to make sure I've done that up correctly and to unplug and check that there's nothing wrong with the electrical connector between the seat and the car is correct.

Can anyone tell me, if I rectify the issue - should the airbag light go off or is some sort of reset needed?

Any other tips appreciated!

I'd run a diagnostic on the SRS module, which will identify the actual issue, rather than guessing. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Thanks for coming back to me. Is that something I'd need an IID tool for or should I be able to do it with a standard ODBII dongle?

Don't know about the dongle, I use JLR SDD on my land rover / jags. Pretty cheap to get up and running with a Mangoose cable. Good luck.
