Complaint
After recoding the vehicle (either all control modules or specifically the B-Pillar - satellites) the fault "EAM parameter inconsistent" is recorded in the SBSL (9897) and/or the SBSR (9917). The airbag warning lamp is activated. These faults can be cleared but the airbag warning lamp stays activated. After a sleep/wakeup cycle the faults reoccur.

Follow the general procedures for CIP programming as per B09 0501.

Select "Load SW" and identify that the module has not been replaced.
