1. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.

2. Find a white seat mat connector with 3 wires under the passenger seat (color of the wires: white, red, brown). Here's the installation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1VmuVK-z94

3. Disconnect the seat mat connector and replace it with the emulator.

4. Connect the seat belt emulator if your car is equipped with an unfasten seat belt alarm. Find the seat belt connector with 2 wires (colors of the wires: black-white and red-white) and cut the wires on the side marked with blue line on the photo below.

5. Now connect the emulator's wires with the wires that are marked with a blue arrow. Please use the fast the attached fast connector and connect black-red wires with emulator's red wire, and black-white wires with emulator's black wire. Please, take a look on the photo below.

6. Connect a diagnostic tool (like Autel, Delphi or iCarsoft) and reset old fault codes. Check if the defective seat mat fault code disappeared.

7. If the fault code re-appeared and/or the airbag warning light is still present then follow all of the steps mentioned below and contact us:

A) start the engine and check if the LED light on emulator blinks alternately in 2 different colors (usually blue/green or red/green light), which means the device is powered (12V) and connected to the Airbag Control Unit (ACU) successfully. LED light blinking in 1 color means the emulator is powered but has problems connecting with the ACU. No light means no power (there is a problem with car's electric installation).

B) connect your diagnostic tool and take a photo of all fault codes and their descriptions. Name this photo as step B.

C) turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition. Disconnect the emulator, but do NOT connect anything. Reset the fault codes and read new fault codes. Take a photo of new fault codes and their descriptions. Name this photo as step C.

D) turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition. Now connect your original seat mat. Reset the fault codes and read new fault codes. Take a photo of new fault codes and their descriptions. Name this photo as step D.

Send us all photos and information about LED lights. We will guide you what to do to solve your problem. Remember, we need ALL photos to do a proper diagnosis of the problem and give you a proper solution. If the fault codes are the same in all steps then it means your Airbag Control Unit is broken. The emulator will not help you with that problem.
