Which code readers can reset it?
Another air bag light on

I got rid of my air bag light that mysteriously came on one day, my wife bought me a Creator 410 for Christmas and it showed up as a low voltage. I used it to clear the light over Christmas and it hasn't come back. Why or how it appeared I haven't a clue as I hadn't done any work on the car. On my wife's focus at service time the mechanic replaced the cabin filter but had not clipped the fuse box back properly causing lots of things to not work, might be something your mechanic has done similar.
So I got the Creator 410. I have carried out a test and no fault codes have been found? I carried out clear fault regardless.
Then I thought I would then try removing the fuses listed for the airbags. I think 13 and 45 (I used the fuse card). Each time I turned the ignition with the fuse out. The light remains on.
Anybody have any ideas?

No codes at all? Anywhere?Mr_E85Bim said:So I got the Creator 410. I have carried out a test and no fault codes have been found? I carried out clear fault regardless.

Don't just look at the Airbag system as I think you can also get as code on the instrument cluster.
If you haven't already, do a full system scan.
Ah I did not check all the individual options. Will take a proper look once I am done working. There doesn't seem to be an option for a full system scan. Need to do each individually :roll:enuff_zed said:No codes at all? Anywhere?Mr_E85Bim said:So I got the Creator 410. I have carried out a test and no fault codes have been found?

I saw a short clip on YT where he takes a fuse out and it goes off?! But it was another model of E series.
Will update shortly.
Thank you all
The air bag light will not go out by itself. You have to clear it manually with a code reader after you resolve the problem.
I lived with the air bag light on for over a year, when I thought there was a serious problem with the air bag or seat sensor. I read that there is a small wire attached to the positive battery cable that when there is a bad connection, it turns on the air bag light.
I had trouble keeping the wire with a good connection, which made me reconnect the wire and clear the code a couple of times.
I finally reconnected the wire and used electrical tape to hold it in place and cleared the code.
I have not had an air bag light problem for over 9-months.
I use a BMW C110+ Code Scanner to read and cleared the air bag codes.

I do not have a photo, but you should see it easily.
My BMW C110+ Code Scanner did identify an "Air Bag Light" issue, but didn't go in detail.
I could clear the code, without making a better connection with the small black wire, but the air bag light would come back on.
Only after making a better connection with the wire and clearing the code, did the air bag light stay off.
After lots of research, I read if the air bag system senses something wrong with the battery, for safety reasons, it will warn you be turning on the air bag light.
Again, fixing the problem alone, will not turn off the air bag light, it has to be manually cleared with a code reader.

So I found the following error codes. I cleared them and they have not come back BUT airbag light remains on. There are no other fault codes returning after I cleared it.
There is one option that remains loading but does nothing - central chassis electronic
Thoughts will be appreciated as always gents
