Default Ok to turn on the ignition with the air bag removed?

Hi guys,

I'm troubleshooting my steering wheel control issues after swapping the steering wheel, but that's all outlined in a different thread.

To save a lot of time and effort and to allow me to test each component separately, is it ok to start the ignition with primary airbag disconnected? I appreciate I'll get an error code\symbol at the time, but will it reset itself once reconnected or need a dealer visit?

Graeme

I have not done this with F-type, but on other cars this results in a fault that only dealer can clear. So you will have airbag light that you won't be able to clear without a dealer's tool.

Put some ear plugs in first and don't sit in the passenger seat. Sorry couldn't help myself.
