So I had my e-brake mess up one time. Fairly commen on our goats. I found a write up on how to fix it. I had to take the seat out and it said do not start the car with out the seat in because it will throw an airbag code if it is not plugged in. I wanna take it out just for the track. Is there a way around the code? If not how hard is it to clear the code? Also is it really worth taking the back seat out? How much does it weigh? I took the rear back rest out once it didn't weigh nothing. Thanks in advance!

back seats are heavier then you think, trust me; they come out very very easy, and its would only take about 20 minutes to find about if you think its worth it or not.

if i was going to track, they would come out. No doubt.

I'm taking mine out in the morning for the track. Due they actually throw a code? Any tips on easy way to get them out?

Wished I knew about this earlier. I took out my passenger seat to race at the track. And I still get the error everytime I start the car with the seat back in. But I'm sure I can go to AZ and have them clear it?

All you have to do is remove the seat belt receptacle from the seat track and plug it back in BEFORE turning the key on or you will have a code that takes forever to go away.

there is no error for removing back seats, if that is what you are thinking.

if you are referring to the back seat, the bottom has pull cable on both sides, pull it out and lift up on seat, once the bottom is out, there is two, bolts, maybe 15mm at the center and bottom of the upper backs. remove them, then the seat backs lift UP and OUT.

How do the rear back rests come out? I want to get them stitched up.

Well I put my bolt on GTO in the 11's tonight. According to records on the GTO forums I'm the 4th fastest bolt on GTO in the country. The first slot was ran at Atco and the other two I can knock out so no worries if I only get second in my quest.

I forgot about this and I do have the error now but oh well. I'll get it taken care of before I park it for the winter.

So anyone know how to clear the code out for those who it may happen to?

Take it to someone with a Tech II that can read the ABS module. Good luck.

The easiest way to do this if you are taking them out for the track is to pull the airbag fuse before turning on the car and replace it after putting the seat back in before you turn on the car. While the fuse is out the warning will come on but after putting everything back it will turn back off without the need for the tech II or pulling the seatbelt harness off. Of course this is more dangerous, I only do it for runs at the track and everything is back in before I leave. Never drive around that way.

Good to know that. Once I get it taken care of after this season I'll start doing that for next year.
