05’ r52. Previous owner replaced the instrument cluster so the mileage isn’t correct. That’s ok for me but the seatbelt and air bag lights will not go off. The run flat light is also on.

Codes tell me the belt tensioner is at fault. I’ve cleaned the terminals but light still on. Do the tensioners have a history of going out? I believe the air bag light is connected with this issue because there aren’t any air bag codes specifically activated.

I’ve reset the tpms but it comes back on. The tires are all pressurized correctly and are wearing evenly.

Is it possible the lights are on because the instrument cluster is not coded to this cars VIN?

my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I looked but could not find this exact question.

Thanks

 

you'd like to do it by yourself ? or in a mechanic shop

 

Ya I’d like to fix the issue myself but if it needs to be coded I may need to have someone else do it.

 

It should be due to the coding of options in the cluster and not the mismatched VIN. The following thread has a lot of info that applies to a swap of any 1st gen main center gauge: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hopefully.html
