2000 Jetta Airbag Codes

Hey guys,

I have a couple airbag codes on my car that I cant get to clear. Any help pointing me in the right direction for what parts to check/change would be greatly appreciated!

Address 15: Airbags Labels: 6Q0-909-605-VW5.lbl
Control Module Part Number: 6Q0 909 605 A
Component and/or Version: 09 AIRBAG VW5 0003
Software Coding: 12345
Work Shop Code: WSC 00066
VCID: 3522FE480D262AEE72-4B5C
Fault Codes have been Erased

4 Faults Found:
01221 - Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179)
28-10 - Short to Plus - Intermittent
00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95)
32-10 - Resistance Too High - Intermittent
00589 - Airbag Igniter 1; Passenger Side (N131)
32-10 - Resistance Too High - Intermittent
01217 - Side Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N199)

Check control unit for water ingress and clean if needed or replace if all wiring/sensors are in order.

Check grounds for adequate ability to carry current.

any history for the car accidents airbags replaced etc..

no accidents no air bags replaced its a florida car has some rust under the dash looks like from salt in the air

I have checked all the wiring under the seats and behind the 2 front air bags all looks good

i swap the sensors from under the front seats and still have the same codes
thanks

swapped the sensors from under the 2 front seats have the same codes

which ground wires are you referring to i have check all the obvious wires

Please observe RTFB for WD and observe JPPSG guide.
With sporadic codes such as this, I strongly reiterate..... I would seriously inspect the controller internally with a good visual inspection.

which controller are you talking about

0x15 Air bag

i am sorry sir i don't know what 10x15 air bag means for me to do

It's 0x15 not 10x15, and it means that the address of the airbag controller is 15, so that's the controller you need to look at with VCDS.

Thanks My steering wheel is on the opposite side I will look around At least now i know what i am looking for

Thanks Again

That makes no difference to controller address numbering

Should be applicable to a 2000 Jetta:
