What have you done if you were fortunate enough (sarcasm) to have the dual stage airbag?
I have done the swap and I'm left with the airbag light and 2nd igniter fault.
TIA

As mentioned in the thread I soldered in a 2.7 ohm resistor into the CH MFSW control module. For some reason the pics are not loading. You’ll have to remove the cover on he CH module and you will see where there are two missing pins as compared to your original module for the dual stage airbags. Solder the resistor between the solder points where the two pins should be. Hope that makes sense.

This resolved the airbag light.

Also look in the comments in this diy thread. Someone posted pics showing the igniter pin locations

Trying to stay away from using resistors for the time being. It's gotta be a coding or module change ... gotsta be. I picked up an airbag control module from a mk5 with single stage airbag. Going to swap it over and see if that solves the problem.
