Hi everyone.
Unfortunately, the airbag light is on in our 2017 Jetta.

The reported code:
Code:
9442836 - Front Passenger's Airbag Disabled Indicator Lamp 
          B1016 14 [10001000] - Open or Short to Ground
          MIL ON - Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Priority: 2
                    Fault Frequency: 1
                    Mileage: 119225 km
                    Date: 2086.14.14
                    Time: 10:02:22

And, suspiciously enough, there's also this CAN-bus code:
Code:
01044 - Control Module Incorrectly Coded
            000 - - - Intermittent
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Status: 00100000
                    Fault Priority: 2
                    Fault Frequency: 4
                    Reset counter: 255
                    Mileage: 0 km
                    Time Indication: 0
                    Date: 2014.14.15
                    Time: 00:00:01

Do you guys have suggestions on how to debug this?
Any suggestions for possible bad contacts I should check first?

Thank you! :thumbs:

Update:
I tried if the passenger detection and the "passenger airbag disabled" light both work and they do.
When I start the car with no passengers inside, the "passenger airbag disabled" light will glow orange.
When someone sits on the seat, the orange light will disappear.
So the seat sensor and instrument light are both working as expected.

Front Passenger's Airbag Disabled Indicator Lamp B1016 14 [10001000] - Open or Short to Ground MIL ON -

That fault description is specific - I would look very closely because the alternative is a new module !! $$
Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
This DTC will clear, it is Intermittent, have you tried ??

Will it clear and stay away ??

This DTC will clear, it is Intermittent, have you tried ??
Good point. I will try to clear the DTC and take it for a test drive.

The warning light seems to work.
Do you have any suggestions?
