...durametric or a Foxwell or any type of tool that can be used to reset an airbag light? Would throw some beers or bucks your way. Thanks!

There are events or cars and coffee each week that I am sure people could bring their ODB machines. Lone Star PCA.

I have cleared an airbag code with my old ICarsoft in the past. POR II version I believe.

I should be able to help if you don't already have it covered.

Thanks for the offer!! I was unable to get the codes cleared with GTorTT's iCarsoft tool so I brought it to the shop today. We'll see what they say.

Do you have a durametric?

Are you for sure there is still not a problem?

You might be able to reset the light, but unless the underlying issue is resolved, the light will remain.

That's why I took it to the shop

Yes - and thanks for your help earlier! Car is back in my garage as of Monday. The issue was a bad driver's side seat belt receptacle. After that was replaced, the lights cleared and have not come back.

Going to do brake rotors, pads, hoses all around this weekend as well as inner/outer tie rods.

Great. Good luck with the brake job. Just did it myself on the Cayenne GTS and it was very easy. The ONE thing that helped was I bought a caliper spreading tool that really made the process go easy. Welcome to borrow it if you need. You can also swing by after you finish and re-set your brake service light if you want....
