You can reset it. If there’s a hard fault I don’t think so. Maybe another member can chime in.

Not that I know of. Post your code. There were some issues on some vehicles with the connector under the passenger's seat. If that's what you're dealing with, it may be a simple fix. After that, you're probably looking at replacing crash sensors or fixing wiring harnesses in the door, etc.

Mine was coming on and I could turn it off with my VCDS easily but it would come back on. I fixed the issue by simply removing the electrical connection under the seat, cleaning it with contact cleaner and reassembling it. The VCDS will tell you which seat has the issue.
