The air bag light is on. i try to reset it with the obdII&IT STILL ON
OBDII doesn't reset airbag lights or codes. It's an entirely different system. Unfortunately, fixing the original problem (seat belt buckle wire, for instance) won't turn off the light. The module needs to be reset.
Go to www.vehix411.com they have the reset and diognose instructions in video for most make and models
If it stays on after being reset it means that something is telling it to turn on again. i.e. there is a problem with the system. I would recommend getting it checked out. Airbags aren't something you should ignore or try to fix yourself.
Check the seat belt clasp to make certain some wires inside of it have not broken.
This symptom is typical in VW's, and typically happens to the drivers side seat belt clasp section.

SOURCE: 2007 Passat wagon. I need to reset the air bag warning light.
the air bag light will only show if the ignition was turned on while it was disconnected.
it will defo need to be pluged into the computer to be put out but some smaller garages will have the software to do this and will be a little cheaper.here in ireland VW wanted 50euro to do mine but a small garage done it for 30euro.
you can buy code finders/reset gadgets on ebay but might not be worth it for one job compared to $130.
my suggestion would be to get the main dealer to do it if a normal automotive shop cannot access it.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, CLEANED, AND REINSTALLED. ITS LOCATED BEHIND THE CENTER PORTION OF THE FRONT GRILL (4 SCREWS) THE SENSOR IS ATTACHED ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE RADIATOR MOUNT. REMOVE THE SENSOR (2 BOLTS) CLEAN THE BRACKET AT THE MOUNTING POINTS WITH A WIRE BRUSH OR EMORY CLOTH. ALSO CLEAN THE BOLTS AND WASHERS TO BARE METAL. REINSTALL. THE PROBLEM IS AFTER TIME THE CONTACT WITH THE FRAME CORRODES AND THE SENSOR LOOSES ITS NEGATIVE GROUND, WHICH IT NEEDS TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

You need to either have the dealer reset it or you can do it if you have VAG-COM. Vag-Com is a piece of diagnostic software that uses a special cable to hook up to your car. You can read/clear codes among a ton of other things. It's very common for VW guys to have. Much easier than going to the dealer if you can find someone close to you. The guys over at www.tdiclub.com are always more than willing to help out a fellow VWer. There is a list of guys with the software - you can actually do a search to see if there's anyone near you. www.vagcomlocator.com or go to www.tdiclub.com
