Default Need more info.

When did you get the "no response"?
Can you connect to other systems?
Are there any other issues with the car (brake warning light, etc)?

No, everything else is fine. the ABS, BRAKE light nor the ENGINE light ARE NOT ON. It definitely works and reads the car and connects, but wont connect to the AIRBAG

Might be the controller itself.

Where is the AIRBAG controller and since there is an aftermarket radio, doesnt the AIRBAG light go on or not always?

Controller is on the hump under the climate control and radio.

Aftermarket radio may interfere with signals on the K-line bus, but does not impact air operation.
