BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted March 14, 2020 Hi team, Anyone know how to reset an early type E36 airbag light? It’s the type with the two Fluoro orange impact sensors in the engine bay. I have a Peake airbag scan tool but it doesn’t detect this system. Accidentally connected the battery with the steering wheel removed. Thanks, Niroy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted March 14, 2020 Hooking it up to BMW DIS via an ADS interface is the only way I believe. If you're ever up in Auckland we can try on my rig if you like. Alternative is to take it to BMW but they'll charge a criminal price. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tawa 150 Report post Posted March 15, 2020 Orange impact sensors are not ringing any bells, but if it has the round 'pacman' ADS connector I have the tool and INPA to have a crack at it if you're up in TGA... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ00Z3 189 Report post Posted March 15, 2020 I use the Foxwell NT530 scanner with BMW software for all of my ADS work. It talks ADS/OBD1 and OBD11. Costs around $300 from Overseas supplier http://www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/nt520-pro-scanner-with-bmw-software-installed.html Or $395 off Trdaeme https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/meters-testers/listing-2575974073.htm?rsqid=a811faccdd6e471d93fab5de046e5184-001 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks for the responses guys. I’m getting the car ready for Certification so unfortunately it’s not road legal to drive. I’ll have a yarn to my local auto sparky. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
