I check all the wires under the seat and I disconnected and reconnected it back..clear all the fault code but still is showing drivers module trigger open..help guys
Re: Omg air bag..
Better to use "PP2000" (Peugeot Planet 2000) to read the diagnostic codes, the general purpose code readers often produce a lot of incomprehensable output.

Re: Omg air bag..
Is yours an older 406?
Early models D8 have just one airbag trigger for the steering wheel airbag, and later models have 2 airbag triggers...
I assume it's the drivers airbag, they may be a break in the contacts - but as suggested PP2000 will pinpoint it for certain.

Re: Omg air bag..
My experience with general diagnostic code scanners is that they usually cannot clear fault codes on these 406 models.
Better to use PP2000, that has always worked for me.
The fault codes might also clear themselves after a few rides, so you might also just wait for them to clear.
