    Airbag Light HELP!!

    So my airbag light has come on and wont go out. I tried to make a airbag bypass module but the light still didn't go out so I ended up having to buy an inpa cable after several hours of trying to get the software to work I tried to reset the light but it goes out for about a second then comes back on. I checked the codes and found 2 errors: seat occupancy detection line against plus and belt tensioner Passenger resistance too high. My MOT is at the end of the week so need some urgent help. BTW does anyone know how to change inpa language to English.

    Pull the passengers eat and check all electrical connections are tight and clean with electrical contact spray.

    There is only one thing more pleasurable than working on a Z3, that's driving it top down on a fine day.

    Thanks for the reply it turned out that the wiring loom under the seat had fallen out. The car passed the mot then I decided to change the headlights, now the exterior bulb warning lights wont go out for both sides. I changed the bulbs back over and the warning light went out on inpa the error codes for the new lights just say headlight defect. Does it make any difference that I put led bulbs in instead.

    Yes LED bulbs will cause the warning lights to come up. The bulb monitoring system is looking for the electrical characteristics of a normal bulb and a LED bulb is different.

    Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to add value to these threads, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person with the same or similar problem stands on your shoulders.

    I have cleared the warning lights by disabling the cold and warm checks and the check error.

    The question is: Is there anything that I haven't screwed with??
    jks

    Does anyone have a strange sound coming from their ac or is that just me. Might try taking out the vents and see if there is anything floating about in them if no one has any suggestions.
