I'm concerned about resetting my SES and airbag lights with the Peake tools. The manuals say to make sure and correct whatever faults are present BEFORE resetting the lights. Does that mean the fault codes are erased once you reset the lights, never to return? If something is really wrong, wouldn't the fault codes recur and the lights come back on?
I recently resent my airbag warning light after retrofitting a new steering wheel to my '00 M5. Before I reset the light, the Peake tool displayed three fault codes:
11: Seat belt buckle switch, passenger
16: Sensor, side airbag, right, parameter fault
1A: Seat occupancy detector, passenger: Coding data
These codes would seem to indicate a problem (or problems) with the passenger airbag system. But ever since I reset the airbag light, it hasn't come on again. Does that mean the fault codes were a false alarm? Or does the system assume that I have corrected those faults if the light has been reset?
Thanks, Mike
