Hi,

I have problems with my VW Passat (97,1,9 TDI) the aribag light is on! I check't that via Vag-com and I got a error code 1221 36-10, thats the fault code for Driver side crash sensor- It was full with Water (very offen problem with 3B5 Passat).

I read that it is Possible to shut off the Side Airbag Via 4,6 Ohm resistor-It is possible to shut off the Crash sensor Fault, with a resistor?

I get the air bag light when my battery is disconnected until I clear it with VCDS. Where is the sensor so I can check and see if mine is soaked too?

Our 97 Passat do not have side aibags; they were B4 until 97 and became B5 in 98. Europe got the B5 before NA.

The Crash sensor is located under the Driver seat! And I have a 97 Passat and they have Seat aribags (but I am from Europa)

... None :S
In europe a 97 Passat is a B5. The sensors live under the carpet, bolted to a small bracket attached to the bottom inside of the floor pan.
