    Airbag light

    It all began when I got the car. The BC button on the stalk was not working at all. No matter what you press it wont change anything in the cluster. I googled and found out that a lot of people were having this issue. And it was mainly because of faulty wiring in the stalk. And then I realised that my High beam indicator and fog lights indicator wont show up in the cluster. So I went to check the fuse and found out that the Fuse in slot 10 (5A) is missing. I got a new fuse and plugged it and voila the BC was working and so was the High beam/fog light indicators. But now the airbag light was on. I decided to connect with INPA and see what the error could be. I tried clearing the error and reading the error.

    Which roughly translates to

    several
    Air bag light may have to do with a recall on our year models. Check with your dealer.

    Google “BMW E46 hidden OBC functions.” Test #2 checks the operation of the cluster.

    The airbags were changed in 2016. The next replacement is due in Jan 2019 I think. Any idea why that code is showing up?
