On old cars (pre 1998) you can usually reset the light by unattaching the battery ground terminal and waiting 30 seconds and reattaching it. On anything newer, there is a code exclusive to the make of the car and unfortunately a dealer will have to give it to you or send it to your ecm (ECU) for you. Even auto body shops have to ask for this information from a dealer!

Why has air bag light switched on in an 1999 Audi a4?

The airbag system is sensitive to resistance in the circuit. Apparently, even a short term increase in resistance will set the airbag light. An Audi shop with a VAG-com test unit can tell which part of the system is setting the light. The most common is the seat mounted airbags. The usual repair is to make sure you have your radio security code, disconnect the battery (remember that you are working with the detonators for small explosive charges), disconnect the floor connection, clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner, reconnect them and secure with a zip tie. Then reconnect the battery, enter the radio security code and turn off the light using the VAG-Com. A lazy man's way (it worked for me) is simply to turn off the light when it is tested and see if it returns. The change is resistance may have been transitory. Good luck.
