Default Airbag light not resetting

My airbag light came up and we suspect it might be the airbag control unit or the seatbelt buckles

Its throwing code P000003 P000103 when checking airbag dtc from my POR II icarsoft scanner. Airbag light wont clear as well

what other things do i need to check ? Car is 2012 991 c2s

I had a similar problem after swapping a steering wheel. The air bag light was on and would not reset with the POR II scanner. I eventually took out the airbag and noticed the connector to the air bag was not seated correctly. Once I fixed that problem, the scanner reset the air bag light... no problems since.. You may want to check the airbag connections 1st as it's pretty simple to remove and inspect. Here'a DIY link to removing the air bag

Was able to read the piwis fault code

Its says that my airbag threshold is too low

Showing around 50(?) ohms ? We tried resetting but light stays on. Could it be the airbag itself or the airbag control module ?

What about a hard reset with a disconnect of the battery?? Are airbags covered beyond the standard 4 year warranty period?

I had these before. Sensors behind bumper went bad for riding on grooved pavement; assumed excessive vibration broke them. I think I paid $60/each and changed them myself in my garage.
