Airbag and seatbelt code after swapping sport seats

[Spark365]

Hi everyone

So today I swapped my standard manual non sport seats for manual sport seats. I also swapped my seat belt harness to the new seats. Only thing is that it is throwing some seatbelt and airbag codes now. Can someone explain that? How do I get rid of them ?

Thank you!

Did you swap the under seat control boxes also? If they’re both manual, it should be easy to do and it’ll basically think you have the original seats in. Also did you make sure you disconnected the battery before pulling the seats out?

What do you mean by the seat control? You mean the black box ? Or the yellow connector? Because no I didn't. But I made sure to disconnect the battery.

I’d swap the whole box that’s mounted under the seat. IIRC, mine was yellow but I could be wrong. Your car could be looking for modules that aren’t there in the seats you put in but the airbags themselves are all the same as far as I know.

Either that or your new seats might need to be coded to match VINs but if you swap the module from your old seats into the new ones, it should be a simple plug and play.

Well, for no reason codes just disappeared

I guess it's ok now

Thanks anyway!
