disconnect both battery cables, then touch the positive cable to the negative cable to discharge the ecu capacitors. reconnect and recheck. if light is still on, scan the airbag ecu and remedy the fault you are getting.

What scan tool do I need to pull codes from this system? my Snap-on Euro pac will not access this system, (no suprise).

Thanks

Answer

there are a variety of scanners that can access airbag on bmw - the ones i know of are the dealer gt1 or gt3, the launch x431, and the autologic. all very pricey. you may want to visit a bmw shop if you dont have ready access to these tools.
