2000 Sportage 1795 Error Code

[Pelo]

Just bought a code reader and it reported the 1795 error code which is not in the book. Someone know what it mean ?
I bought a code reader because the check engine light was on, the HOLD light was flashing (this when I shifted to 4 wheels drive HI and then the transmission won't shift to overdrive) and the air bag light is always flashing 1 long and 5 short.
The air bag light is the only one I can't erase with the code reader. Any help will be appreciated, Thanks.

As indicated that error code is a fault in the "4 wheel drive low" circuit.

You can't reset or diagnose the airbag system with the OBD-II scan tool. You need a Kia Pro Scan Tool and only dealers have that tool. So you need to have the dealer diagnose the airbag system.
