i put factory seats back in and believe all connections were made but am trying to understand what error in the connections will throw this code.
If the wires that come off the seat belt receiver also control the air bag than maybe that's the issue. If those wires only control a Seat belt light, then they aren't it.

If you have the airbag light on, you'll need the Durametric to turn it off. I have one, but am in Chicago. Would be happy to plug into your car, but there has to be one closer to you than Chicago. Once you pull the code, you'll know exactly what the issue is and can go from there.

It only works with Windows, so you could load up Boot Camp or similar and install Windows on your Mac. Or, you could go the route I did and just pick up a super cheap Windows laptop on eBay. I got a used Lenovo Thinkpad for something like $120. Durametric doesn't need a lot of computing power to run. Just double-check the system requirements before you purchase.

I can't speak for Durametric, but I've run similar programs on a mac. I set my macs up to dual boot into either windows or osx. I like to run diagnostic software from bootcamp/windows rather than from a VM (I also use VMWare Fusion and Parallels on my mac for Windows apps). There isn't much out there that I've found that won't work in Windows on a Intel chipped macbook.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I am not that computer literate, so I just used my Surface from the office.
I received 3 errors. 03 supply Voltage, 50 Drivers seat belt and 51 Passenger seat belt.
I was able to move the plug on drivers side to a different port on the harness, cleared codes, and it did not come back, so I think it worked. Will repeat with pass side this weekend.
Thanks, for the help!

Now this makes less sense. If I unplug the belt receptacles and clear the codes they do not come back. If I plug them in to the harness, then faults come back.
This then makes me think that when i moved teh plug on the drivers side, I really didnt fix anything because it was not recognized or it thought it was unplugged.
Ideas/?

Your car may have been coded to not utilize the seat belt latch monitoring, and if you plug in belts when it doesn't want them, it may be throwing the error. You need to see if your car's POSIP system is properly coded for the USA coding which has airbags plus seatbelt latch sensors plus belt retractors.

If that was the case, how do I determine that?

I would use a PIWIS1 or 2 and the POSIP control unit will show you what setting it has been coded for and can then be used to code it appropriately. I do not know if a durametric or other interface can do this.

very cool. Thanks! Now where do I get access to one of those systems??
im hoping that's it and it makes sense because if I read correctly the airbag error should happen when the belt receivers are not plugged in, but there are no errors unplugged. however when I do plug them in faults keep coming back. Resistance in ohms for both belt receivers were spot on too.

As for that system - it's a factory PIWIS system that requires hardware for it to run with a 996. A quick trip to the dealership can sort it out unless someone near you has a PST2 or PIWIS

Update. Finally had a chance to get the car in and have it looked at. The Indy I took it to utilizes auto logic and did note that belts and tensioners were “turned off”. He selected the coding so that the software recognized that they are present and the air bag light turned off. Success.

Autologic is one of the few diagnostic tools that is quite comprehensive for P-cars. Although its fairly expensive and subscription based so not worth purchasing if you're an individual.
