Is there a way to manually turn this light off without having to pay
for the full diagnostic check first???

It randomly came on when driving along for no reason.

Audi A4 2003 convertable.

Any advice much appreciated.

regards

You should re-post to the Audi forum.

But if the system is anything like a BMW - likely since the requirements
from the DOT are the same - you pretty much have to go to the dealer.
It *wasn't* "random", and there *is* a reason.

Go ask the question in alt.autos.AUDI instead of here in
alt.autos.BMW.

No, you have to go in for service.

The Airbag System is a safety of flight item, and any error that is detected
is assumed to be permanant, and requires a techincian to troubleshoot and
reset.

Having said that, the most common failure on BMWs is the seat switches and
the seat belt switches. I'm not certain what the cause is on the Audi.
