Durametric tool and Boxster airbag warning lamp
I made the mistake of starting my 97 Boxster with the driver and passenger seats out. I had just replaced the water pump and was adding coolant and purging the system. So the air bag lamp has been on since.
I've got 2 questions about the warning lamp: 1. I believe the airbag is inoperative when the airbag warning lamp is on. Is this true? 2. The $100+ the dealer will charge to turn the lamp out with their tool would make a nice downpayment on a Durametric diagnostic tool. I would rather put money into a Durametric than give the money to the dealer. Will the Durametric Enthusiast version clear the code, or is the Durametric Professional required? And then there's one more question about Durametric: Will the Durametric Enthusiast enable the external temperature (and onboard trip computer) feature? I understand a multiposition switch is also needed to select the operating mode once the feature is enabled, but would like to know if the Enthusiast can enable the feature. Thanks, |
The Enthusiast version will clear any CEL but I don't think it will enable the external temp and onboard trip computer. There's a used one for sale on planet9 that's still has 2 vins left.

I3m -- Thanks for the info and lead on the device.
Can you also confirm whether the airbag is disabled whenever the warning lamp is on? |
