HELP! I set off the SRS light e32 |
|
|
I was repalcing bulbs in my console & I forgot to hook up the SRS connector
before putting power back on.
Now the srs light is blinking non stop.
How can I reset it so it stops blinking?
Thank you
Jason

Go on ebay, buy the Peake reset tool, use it, resell it on ebay.

There's no peake reset tool for e32's.. The peake for e32 only does service &
oil -- not srs. am I mistaken?
I guess it won't hurt for Jason to look; but I did a quick search & didn't find
them for hte e32's.
Cheers

I think you'll have to go to the dealer to have it reset; leaving the battery
unplugged, or using a reset tool won't do it on the e32.

do you know what they did? I'm just curious now that I know that it's not as
easily done as the 94+ bmw's...

They used a reset tool. Plugged it in and a few seconds later...light
was off.

Well; as I like to take care of my own general maintence -- I've been searching
for a tool to reset the SRS light -- I only found a $2,500 US tool... I've
been searching -- and for kicks I called the dealer -- they won't just "reset
it" they need to "diagnose" it. WOuldn't give me a price.

Josh,
Did you tell them that you know why the light is on. That you caused it
when performing maintenance at home? They still would not reset it for
you? I'd find a more empathetic service place...

Depending on the year your e32 is, this may work...

issues...

I saw in one of the mags an ad for a peake tool "Brand New" "1990-2000" "resets
SRS"
So I called them, the ad was wrong for the pre-94 cars... They said to check
back with them in 4 months; they're working on it...

I think I saw the same ad in Roundell. I read it closely though and I
think you could interpret it this way; It will read the codes and reset
the Service Inspection lights on the full range of years. But it will
only reset the SRS on the post '94 cars. I've been considering one
myself...
