IM TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE ECU ON VEHICLE TO CLEAR AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH APPEARED AFTER A BULB CHANGE!?
IVE TRIED TO CONNECT USING THE VAG KKL LEAD WITH RED LEAD BUT DESPITE TRYING ALL OPTIONS ALL I GET IS THE CANT CONNECT TO ECU MESSAGE?
IVE USED THE SAME SET UP BUT WITH DIFFERENT LEAD TO REMOVE FAULTS ON MY ALFA147 WITH NO PROBLEMS SO THERE CANT BE MUCH WRONG?
ALL I GET IS THE RED LIGHT ON THE VAG KKL LEAD WHEN I CONNECT TO SOCKET, IVE CHANGED SETTINGS TO INTERFACE KLINE/VAGCOM AND USED PORT2
ANY HELP OR IDEAS MOST APPRECIATED!!

Hello Inkniron
First time?
What Seicento you?
Does he have a 16 pin OBD socket
or single 3 pin sockets
Does he have a 16 pin socket
do you have the same procedure as in the Alfa147 you described.
If the Seicento a 3 pin diagnostic socket should be for the airbag in the passenger footwell.
Then you need an adapter from the 16 pin KKL interface on the 3 pin connector in the vehicle.

Hello
What, did you read the airbag control unit on the Alfa 147 with the OBDLink interface ???
Really ??
I do not believe that
The KKL interface is the right one, you have set the settings for the KKL interface ???
Both vehicles (Seicento and Alfa147) have installed the airbag My97
So if it is in the read a car, it must be read in the other car.

Eddy, i cleared the faults on Alfa, having access to full system using the OBD lead, the faults where ABS & Motor control system faults?? I also did proxy reset following remap!!
Like i said i changed the interface settings for the KKL for the fiat but despite everything i have tried it just wont connect to ECU!

This I thought it could not be that you could read the OBDLink the airbag
First of all !! With big letters to write for us means that cries the writer, I certainly hope not write your form, this says
