Help with Airbags

Sarreguin85 · 03-22-2021, 01:49 PM

Hello everyone, so in my Z4, I've had the airbag light on for the longest time, and I was never sure why. Today I pulled the codes and this is what showed up. Can anyone help me here? I'm not quite sure where to start for these..

Clear them and see what comes back first.

There is another thread on the forum recently regarding air bags might help you.

You have a "dirty" connection which increases the resistance in that circuit.... causing the fault.

The connector in question is under the drivers seat... passenger side also has a SRS circuit (right pillar) running through that connector as well.

You need to disconnect battery (both poles) and then disconnect that connector and clean with electrical cleaner. I'd do both connectors....passenger and driver.

For what it's worth... I zip tied mine together after cleaning to ensure a solid connection. Don't know if it helped but definitely didn't hurt.
