E39 Airbag Light Reset

[Geoff_D]

Is there anyone that can clear the airbag light on a E39. It only came on from a steering wheel change.
I'm in Kildare if there's anyone with the tool nearby it would be a great help.

Maybe Mark Allen in Straffan Geoff.

Geoff look up the elm 327 you can get them on adverts for 10/15 quid they work with a 3e app called torque pro , it will diagnose and clear engine fault codes etc (the only thing im not sure on is if it knocks airbag lights off so maybe do a search first)

I've tried with another type of scanner but it couldn't clear it so I thought I'd need a proper bmw one. But I might try that tool anyway Gar, it would be handy to have.

A handy tool with loads of functions but they won't clear an airbag fault only engine ecu

Another option is to get the BMWhat App & buy a VLink Wifi dongle. This will allow you read & clear most BMW fault codes.
There's another WiFi dongle & app from a company called iOBD2 called the XTool. It looks to be a step on from BMWhat. I have not used this yet though.

This is the tool I have Geoff so if you're in Dublin at any stage just let me know and I'll knock it off.
