    Z3 Air Bag light

    I Have a 2002 Z3 3.0 that has the red air bad light lit on the dash. I can't even remember when it came on but I think it happened when I was changing the seat rail bushing while I had the seats disconnected and turned the ignition on. I read that it can make the air bag light come on is the seat electrical plugs or unplugged, is that true? I bought a Airbag Scan / Reset Tool , my main question is, if I reset the light will it come back on if something is actually wrong with my airbag, and stay off if everything is right with the cars air bag? I just don't wanna force clear it to get rid of the light and something be wrong with my air bag. I would think that you can clear the air bag light and if something is actually wrong with the air bag it will come back on regardless' but I don't know.

    Thanks for the input

    You are correct about the cause. As you suspect, the light will come back on if there is a real fault, so you are safe to reset it.
