Sorry to hear of this.

You need to sort that as airbag lights illuminated will fail MOT when new rules come in, (as will SES/CEL DSC/TCS etc). Bulbs that fail to illuminate on Key Pos 2 dash bulb test will also fail MOT afaik.

What about if you go back into the same menu to see if you can reset.

What did you need to do? Just so that others know how to dig their way out of the hole should it happen to them. Of course the adage - don't mess with it would always apply, but some of us (self-included) have the urge to find the answer to "I wonder what that button does....?" :oops: :? :D
