Air bag fault after new battery installation

Hi guys,
Here is the issue with my former car. New owner asking for advice. It’s a 2006 Cayman S. New battery installed last week without maintaining a back feed to the system. Several error lights on the dash. Most have gone away after 100 miles of driving. Last one is an air bag light.
The Snap-on reader shows a CB80 error and says ‘Triggering Unit faulty’
The code won’t clear manually.
Any suggestions on how to analyze further??
Should mention there were no codes before the new battery installation.
Thank you, as always.
Tony

If the battery died when trying to start the car then it will result in an airbag light. You’ll need a reset tool like a Durametric to clear the light. A dealer or Porsche shop could also clear it.

Thank you Marine Blue!
That fits the scenario.

My iCarsoft also cleared the light easily.

The low voltage code will leave the airbag light on. It is not a self clearing situation. Any good scan tool, PIWIS, AUTEL, AUTOLOGIC, SNAP ON etc will be able to clear it. Not familiar with the capabilities of the DIY tools, but seems like some can clear it as well.....

Cheers
