Air Bag Warning Light

Post by Scott94 » Sat Jan 05, 2019 7:30 pm

Hi all,

Purchased my first Z4 - E85 3.0 auto from fellow forum member on Thursday, today the airbag light came on.

No fault codes are showing up using my OBD2 tool and apps on my phone! Anyone got any ideas? it has M Sport heated seats in it and I hear these can be sensitive to any bumps/knocks especially passenger seat? Keen to reset it and see if it comes on again.

Thanks,

Scott

C110+ or C310+ scanner from amazon will identify and reset.

Take a look: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=97818
Carly may not be advanced enough to clear the fault (depending on what it is exactly that triggered the airbag light) but worth a shot? If theres someone local :)

Carly won’t do it in my experience.

It must be the Scottish temps the cars don't like as mine has came on over the last few weeks, I'll try and check the error code over the weekend if the app will connect with the module.

If I cant get it reset I'll probably pickup one of the C110 scanners so will give you a shout if I get it working.
