Help: Restraint Systems Faulty after changing steering wheel

415 · 12-27-2014, 09:01 PM

After changing I steering wheel I get the error message "Restraint Systems Faulty" and the airbag plus seat belt lamps are lit in the display. Does anyone know what is going on? Can I reset it with a bt tool?

When you change out the steering wheel you have to disconnect the neg battery cable so that you don't get airbag error/warning when you disconnect the airbag...

Did you disconnect battery?

If not, you are gonna need to take car in & get airbag system reset - I'm not familiar whether BT tool will reset or not (I have one, just never ran in to this issue)
