Air-Bag Node Busy Error

Hi Guys

I got around to plugging in my cable and opened up MultiECUscan to do a Proxi Alignment on my 2013 Panda

All was fine until it got to the airbag node

Comes back with a "BUSY ERROR" everytime?
did change out the air-bag module and that's why the Mileage is now flashing,

But as far as I was aware doing a Proxi Ailignment would fix this, but it just keeps giving me a "Busy Error"

See the picture links below and you can see the air-bag node is present so it makes no sense to me?

Can anyone here hwlp on this?

Thanks

It is my understanding that (for many Fiat models) that Air-Bag units, especially if the have been trigger/used to deploy one or more air bags, are not reusable/transferable. Indeed on later models the original vehicle VIN is programmed into the vehicle various ECUs for safety and security/theft/anti vehicle cloning protection.

It could be that the air bag control unit you are trying to Proxi is NOT A VIRGIN UNIT and so it is just responding "Busy" in that it is refusing MES (or any other kit) access.

Thanks for the response

So what is the solution here?

The airbags have not deployed on the Panda, and the replacement module has taken care of the airbag warning and fuel cut off messages, but there is this strange EOL error which is preventing me from the doing the Proxi :/
