Question Airbag malfunction code reset...

Hey guys, today I was changing a steering wheel trim cover and I followed the instructions of disconnecting the negative battery before removing the airbag so I can change the trim. In the middle of change I had to get into the trunk so I connected the battery (while the airbag was disconnected) and popped the trunk and disconnected the battery again.

After I was done and everything was put back together I saw the Left Front Malfunction message on the screen and figured it was when i popped the trunk.

Looks like I need to reset the code, but how can I do that? Can I do that without a scanner?

2015 C300 Sport W205

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Any scanner that can communicate with the SRS module will be able to clear it.

Currently looking at scanners now, can't seem to find a cheap one that will work on a W205 and clear the airbag fault. Any suggestions by any chance?

Well, in case anyone else see's this post trying to reset their airbag fault code I bought a FOXWELL NT630 Plus scanner and just reset mine in 2 minutes. Works great out of the box, didn't need to update the scanner or anything.
