Today I had a call off a customer with a VW polo and the fault code 01044 with a request for me to come out mobile and help diagnose the fault. The customer was using a recently supplied Autel 908s from myself. The customer in question however also had a genuine VCDS cable and using the excellent Teamviewer I logged in remotely to take a look at the problem.
I looked at this article here http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01044 and it stated to try and recode the module using the standard coding. I did this all remotely for the customer and the SRS light went out without any need to change any parts or for me to travel out to the customer. This fault is common on other VAG Group vehicles so probably worth trying the same if you come across the fault code 01044.
