My MKV Jetta has just started to have the airbag indicator light up.
After scanning it with a cheapie tool, it's indicating 01638 Faulty Drivers Rear Side Crash Sensor. I've managed to locate the part at the base of the rear doors.
Question is - my cheapie scanning tool cannot program. If I order the part in from VW or another site with the matching part number, would I need to perform any re-programming to match the part to the car or will it be a straight swap over?
I believe I still need to clear the 01638 error code from the car, but I was more concerned regarding if the part needs to be "married" to the car?
Thanks in advance for your feedback and assistance.
