Mut & Lexia

Does it actually turn the airbag warning off or just reset it?

Thanks

I paid a forum member on evox to change my ETACS. He is located in 626 area. He turned off my tpms, turn on auto door lock. He offered to turn off my air bag sensor for the seats in case I decided to go buckets in the future but I said no.

Cool I'll look around.

Why do people turn the TPMS?

You can use these in every airbag port

Those don't work for the passenger seat weight sensor. I made those myself for the seat airbag sensors.

Thanks

Sheesh, even if it did, we'd need, what, 6?

They are cheap to make. A few bucks could probable make you more than 6.

So just to confirm. This tool can and will shut off my airbag system and DRL's?

Reason why I ask is because I have HID's. I also have a relay harness installed but it stopped working (probably just the relay). However I would love to just shut DRL so I can clean up the wire clutter and drop the weight (my car is on a full out diet).

As well as I installed Corbeau seats and a 5point harness system. I removed my airbags so instead of wiring up a dozen resistors, would be easier to shut the system off.
