Hi, I have a Ford Focus tdci 2008 with airbag light on.

Yes, your vehicle should have RCM module on the MS-CAN bus, so you need an adapter with MS-CAN support.

Thank you!
The light go on after car crash, no airbag open.
Can I go off the airbag light with forscan or need ecu reprogramming?

it depends on DTC code. If it was a crash even, most likely DTC reset would not help to clear the error. Some vehicles have special service procedure for crash reset (not implemented in FORScan, though). Usually such a procedure can be ran not more than 5 times. Other vehicles have no such procedure.
