Service / fault code questions
Discussion
A couple of probably stupid questions by a new Aston Martin Virage owner...
I don't have an official garage anywhere close by (not even in the country), so I am using an independent garage specialized in supercars. They checked the fault codes with Autel MaxiSys and got two faults:
"Parking Aid Module B2477" and "Passenger Seat Module P0100".
I tried to google these but no luck, only B2477 brought some engine related but as these are categorized under something completely different, I assume that information is not valid.
I don't have any warning lights in the dashboard and I have parking sensors working etc., so should I just ignore the whole thing?
The other thing is that I have to do now the 9-year (80.000km) service. Otherwise everything ok, but the garage asked about the spark plugs, if those are ever replaced. The previous owner used only official garages and there are the stamps in the manual, so can I find such information somewhere, like online perhaps? Or is the only way to contact the previous garage/owner and ask?
The manual says that those should be replaced only after 112.000km but many are following the unofficial 7-year rule so would be quite a waste of money to do it now in case those are just replaced.

You often get spurious fault codes when the scanner does not correctly recognise the systems on the car. If everything is working okay, I'd ignore them.
If you are planning on keeping the car for a long time and need a dedicated Aston Martin based diagnostic tool, then maybe the Foxwell diagnostic scanner could be the answer?

Thanks guys for the tips. Today i actually noticed that passenger side airbag is not in use. Message in central panel when starting the engine.
Need to check later if that has been taken off on purpose, and if not, then there is something wrong. I will anyway have the service next week, so they may have a look in that case.
