Airbag light?
My son had a MOMO steering wheel on our '10 .2 GT3 for a while and the way he wired it we never got an airbag light. I replaced that with the original OEM wheel and airbag last week (with the battery disconnected for over 1/2 hour before I touched anything!). The airbag light came on as soon as I started the car and wouldn't go off. I cleared it with the Durametric and as soon as I started the car it came right back on... no other issues or warnings. The TC warning went off as soon as I moved the car.
Any ideas people??

Since the light came back after reset with Durametric, my first check would be disconnecting the battery again, pulling the airbag back out, disconnecting and reconnecting all of the connectors to be sure everything is properly connected. Clear the airbag light and hopefully it doesn't come back. However, if it does, I can't think of anything else that would be causing that.

I've got the pro Durametric- have used it on many different models over the years so the pro version has paid for itself!
I need to move the wheel over 1 or 2 splines as it is slightly off center and that drives me crazy so I'll check all the connections again...

You’re sure when the other wheel was installed no coding was done?
post the error codes in airbag, gateway, and cluster modules.
this should give a better indication of what’s triggering the light

Update- codes were 8037, 8038, and C141. When recentering the wheel two connections on the back of the airbag module itself were loose- pushed those in and heard a snap, reinstalled the module, started car and presto, NO light! Felt kind of stupid I didn't realize those were loose the first time... learn something every day.

So glad you got it all resolved! I make mistakes like that every now and again too with my projects and can only concur with the moment of 'Doh!' that accompanies the fix but realization that you also caused the problem too. Hahaha!
