I change my own oil and need to reset the service meter. I also triggered the airbag light and another one when I did not disconnect the battery while working on the car. A regular OBD code reader wil not zero out the trouble lights on my dash.
There are several BMW reset tools available, but I am not sure if they will fix the airbag and other light on the dash.
What reset tools do you use and recomend for my use?
Thanks!

I use a Peake SRS tool to reset my airbag light however there's some recent +ve feedback on the Bavarian Dominator range. These look a cheaper alternative (even with International shipping) so probably worth a punt.
Current...1998 ///M Coupe
Previously...1997 Z3 2.8

+1 for the Bavarian Dominator airbag reset tool.
Found 2 faults in my system and then reset the airbag once they were resolved!
£39.50 well spent...

Was there a fault, or did it just need resetting? When I changed my seats over I ended up with 2 fault codes, both of which reset ok.theduck wrote:Afraid its negative feedback from me on the bavarian dominator airbag tool as it couldnt read my fault codes. Took it to a specialist in the end and £10 later all sorted.

Dominator
Interesting. I had the seats out in my driveway and turned the key on to be able to unlock the steering wheel so I could push it back into my garage when it started raining. I will look for a source in the States.

If it helps Grandpa, this is the model I have. Seems readily available in the US.
