Help - AWD / ASC / Airbag Service Required

Well, I have a problem:

I was installing my Zeitronix Boost/AFR gauge w/5 bar MAP sensor and LC-1 controller this weekend and I popped an AWD/ ASC OFF / Airbag Service Required Messages. I checked the ECU with my AP, but no codes are coming up. I didn't mess with anything electrical other than the fuses to plug in the LC-1 and Zeitronix gauge, and the only ones I touched were Windows, Cig Lighter, Console (<-didn't use this one). Would a blown fuse cause this? All my electrical stuff seems to work fine, as does my gauge. I have not even moved the car out of the garage yet.

Started up the car, feathered the gas and now the throttle is staying open longer and revving higher.

Removing the negative terminal did nothing. My car has all of 1200 miles on it with the following mods:

UR UICP
SC CAI
UR HFC
CP-E Catback

Sad thing was it has not even been driven in about 4 days, and no light before this. I was going to take it to autox this weekend, but...

Bump, still looking for answers. Thus far I have:

Removed negative battery terminal
Checked all fuses in both fuseboxes (cabin and engine)
Removed connections for LC-1 and Zeitronix gauge into fusebox (cabin)
Reset to stock via AP
Rerouted and re-tightened down vacuum line leading to MAP sensor

The messages remain: ASC /AWD / Airbag service required, and I just noticed I now have no control over my AC, it blows with full force regardless of what I press.

I don't know what I could have done throughout this whole process to cause any of these faults. The AP still shows no codes.

Thank you.

I woulden't even know how messing with a vacuum line could mess up your airbags. I see you have a few bolt-ons, so maybe you can go back to stock and go to the dealership?

I can't think of any of my bolt-ons / gauges that should have triggered any of the messages. The way the WBO2 sensor is routed would make it a pain to return to stock, at least for the cat.

I was thinking, would turning the ignition to "on" while the car is on jackstands cause the problem? Maybe the S-AWC system freaked out and shut itself off, taking the airbag with it.

Nope, I did that last week with the car on jackstands and it did not freak out. I don't see why it would.

With only ~1200 miles, it could be a faulty airbag sensor and some bad luck/timing. Unless someone else has a better idea, I think just remove whatever bolt-ons you can, and have the stealership check it out, since it should be covered under warranty.

^ may also want to try to have the dealer reset the light... if the airbag light comes on, i believe your airbags will not deploy in an accident
