Don't mind the scratchy screen, I use it as a wheel chock sometimes.

Expensive wheel chock!

Pattern 1 = ???
Pattern 2 = ???

Serious question: does the airbag light being ON mean the airbags are DISABLED?

Or just that the computer detected that someone was F'ing around with the connections without disconnecting the battery first?

Asking for a friend!

This I don't know for sure. I always assumed if your airbag light is on your bags won't go off but I recall cases where there was an airbag tsb or recall that claimed even though the light is on the bags should still function.

Maybe it depends on what code is stored?

Maybe one of the forum members who installed racing seats and steering wheels crashed by now and could answer?

Well... a quick search leaves me less optimistic. More than a few results say the bags are OFF if the light is on.

If you wanted to try to change or stop that seatbelt chime I think I found a way. My autel tool is a bit different but will hopefully work like yours.

I will definitely be giving this a try. Are seat belts mandatory in the Great White North as they are here?

Yes it’s mandatory in Canada, otherwise why would we have stupid chime.

If you wanted to cheat the system you could always buy a “wireless seatbelt” online

I’ll have to fix this later, I think the one screen of options doesn’t belong here.

I was asking more about the legality of disabling the chime up there.

I can’t speak about legality but the chime isn’t needed to pass the safety inspection in my province

There might me some law burried deep in the back of a book somewhere. I don't think it's anything anybody has to worry about though. I too thought you were asking if seat belts were mandatory lol.
