Help Diagnosing some fault codes

Used the carsoft to pull some codes and need a little bit of help (or atleast guidance) on figuring them out.

System: DME/DDE

250 Tank Venting Valve: Function fault

System: Airbag

9 Ignition Circuit for right lateral side airbag

16 Belt switch, driver's side



The tank venting valve seams obvious as what to do but I just put in a brand new valve about 2 weeks ago. Any idea?

I have the complete carsoft printout with all the lines included but I'm really not sure what to look at. Is there a guide to figuring that out more accurately?

Thanks

for the air bag, which we run into this a lot, the sensor for the belt may need to be replace. alot of times after a car was in a accedint, and replacing the sensors, and bags the light will still be on, and then that's when we have to replace the belt, because the sensor is in the unit some how.

unforunatly no. when we run into this problem we have to order a whole new seat belt. on ours i don't know if you have to get a whole seat belt or can just get a sensor. you'll may need to call the dealer or try realoem.com, or you can go to a junk yard and take your chance.

A few more, I'm loaded with them:

D7 Fuel tank sensor 2 (without fuel pump)

CF Service Interval Display (SIA) Reset

* I would like to note here that I have replaced my MID which may be the "BF Instrument Cluster Internal error". Both fuel tank sendor units in my car where replaced by me while I was figuring out which one was stuck. Don't know why this would be working while still throwing a code... or why it would throw a code in the first place.

Ok, so I know that's a lot of info and the last two modules listed were already talked about but I had just left out previous information. I'm not necessarily just looking to find the answer for myself on this one, I'd like to put the info out there for all else who has similar problems. So... if you have ANY ideas of where to go to find more information or what the *&^% all these indexes and part nr. means please chime in. Thanks in advance!
