Hi folks, JD here, long time lurker, first time poster !
It's annoying that my first post is an issue with my beloved TDI, but I am hoping you guys can help !
Keep getting an error code ;
01221 - Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179): Implausible Signal
Possible Symptoms
Airbag Warning Light ON
Possible Causes
Wrong/Incompatible Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179) installed
Wiring/Connections between Airbag Control Module (J234) and Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179) faulty
Possible Solutions
Check Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179) Part Number
Install correct Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179)
Check Wiring/Connections between Airbag Control Module (J234) and Crash Sensor Side Airbag; Driver Side (G179)
The guys over at Awesome GTI, did a slight mod where they cut out/rewired some of the loom under the seat for something like this but the issue is still present
Had a local mechanic take my door apart due to lack of tools, we believed there should be a sensor in the door card, but can find no such thing !
Was wondering if anyone has had this before and knew how to resolve it ! Kinda need to get this done before MOT Time !
Thanks in advance.
JD
