hi all, annoying,y my airbag light popped on yesterday.
Was thinking of getting the icarsoft i930 as I've heard they're pretty useful and at less than £100.
My question is will it be good enough to read the airbag codes and also turn off the light once the issue is fixed?
I've heard the airbag light can mean a dealer visit to turn it off.

Thanks in advance

I have used the Allcomms twice to sort mine and once on somebody else's, it takes a couple of goes sometimes and the airbag light flashes a few times in the process.
I think the fault was Battery Disconnect Unit, but not sure if it was that every time.
The short answer to your question is i don't know, but for £100 it is worth a crack, you could always sell it and buy an Allcomms if it doesn't work.
Had you dabbled with anything beforehand ?

I've got one on order so we'll see I guess.
Last thing I've messed with is the crankcase breather filter a week before the light came on. Prior to that was weeks ago.
I do a lot of short journeys on my work commute, 3 miles each way, I have noticed the battery getting a bit weak so have charged it up now and done a good run, light still on. After a few cycles.
Hoping it caused a hard fault due to low voltage that (fingers crossed) the i930 will clear

My recent occurrence was when my battery went flat on the back of a tow truck ....
I tried jumping it with another flat battery and it got all upperty and put the handbag light on and charging the battery didn't fix it but the lovely Allcomms did

Just an update on the icarsoft i930
It turned off the airbag light no problem
I've read and cleared other codes
It seems like a useful and easy to use tool to have around and at £100 you can't go wrong
