All codes are logged so depends on what the light was up for, for example if the code was relating to the wiring under the drivers seat , just rewiring it isnt enough you have to clear the codes as well , but thats assuming the light was on for that reason mate , without reading the codes your pissing in the wind brother , could be a airbag open circuit which means the airbags had it etc
It can be reset the only diag kit I have at home is a RS tuner mate but I'm sure that doesn't work on airbags ! Your more than welcome pop down and try it mate , I'm in stoke so not far !
If it is not then I suggest the best thing you can do is absolutely nothing!! I can almost certainly guarantee the airbag light that I assume came on of its own accord for no obvious reason will disappear at some point in the not too distant future.
It's on for a reason perhaps you been playing with the seats, steering wheel etc and knocked, removed something, bruv need ta get da light checked innit badmanz at em oo tee station be hating da litez boss!
Not convinced about the fault code having to be erased to put the light out on the dash. It's a live system and when the airbag, pretensioner etc is showing the correct resistance it should go out.
Saying that, your next move will be to get a code reader anyway as without that you really are just shooting in the dark.
Nothing mate like I say don't know if it'll show the code ! I don't know what time PM me your number and ill give you a text !
Theres no problem at all in removing the plugs and that won't be your problem it's quite a common issue and this helps !
Airbags obviously work on resistance and the plug moving in and out of connection slightly can Create a difference in resistance hence the light coming on , as log as you've cut the plug out and and soldered the wires correctly together it won't do anything other than making it hard to remove the seats ! But stops the resistance changes !
