Ok - sorry about misbehaving ;-) Still - which pin (if I do not have the special tool) is IV/16 on the DME connector? I mean, in this case there is no risk of shorting since battery will be disconnected as well as the DME and airbag control unit will too. Is the wire between the DME and the control unit for an analog or a digital signal? Are there other airbag signals than CAN bus between the two units?

Did you ever see this problem come to an end? I too am suffering from a P1265. I have have just tried to reflash the airbag control unit and that was not the solution. Still have a bright red light ... still a P1625... even right after I clear this code the light is on (and eventually the code 1265 returns). Now I am down to checking the wires to the DME and getting a replacement Airbag Control Unit. I am very close to buying a replacement unit just to see if that fixes the problem... I could also use the unit from my '00 GT3 but I do not want to "disturb" a functioning system ;-) Plus the nuts doesn't look too nice after removing them with pliers... Loren: In your post you referenced some work shop guide on how to eliminate possible problems. I do not have the "special tool 9637, pin IV/16" but could easily measure the wires without this (I guess) if I could sort out which pin corresponds to "special tool 9637, pin IV/16"! This problem seems very rare, there is hardly any information on the www... Does anyone know how likely/unlikely it is that this problem is caused by faulty wires (or faulty control unit)? I do recall however having read a thread from I guy who performed a similar measuring procedure as I would like to.... Now I can't seem to find it again. Google provides too much variation regarding choice of search words and redirectings.. :/ Any ideas anyone?
