Indispensable for Mechanics, Racers, Installers, Tuners!
The BMW airbag light is something that every installer, mechanic, racer and
tuner will eventually face. The removal of interior components such as the seat,
steering wheel, ECUs, parts of the wiring harness, etc... will cause the airbag
light to come on. And it stays on, until a tool is used to reset it. Until now,
the only solutions were a trip to the dealer, which will always costs you time
and money, or the purchase of a very costly scan and reset tool. With The low
cost, Peake Research R5/SRS, you simply read the code, look up the code in our
code book, make sure you know exactly why the airbag light is on, fix the
problem, then reset it. That simple.
Examples of common situations that cause the airbag/SRS light:
- A loose connector Alarm Installation
- Stereo Installation Seat removal Seat upgrade Seat belt replacement
Steering Wheel removal Steering Wheel upgrade Fuse Removal A corroded
connector Unplugged Wiring harness Body Work Engine compartment work BMW
Owners: Has your airbag (SRS) light ever come on unexpectedly? Have you been
driving around ignoring the SRS light? Do you know exactly why your SRS light
came on (i.e. you triggered it while installing an alarm/stereo/steering
wheel/seat) but you have no way to reset it? Are you tired of relying on
someone else to get the SRS light reset? Yes? Then the R5/SRS was made for
you!
- Wouldn't it be great to have a good idea of what's wrong before you go in
for a repair? Or, better yet, if it's a minor problem, like when racers swap
in a racing seat and trigger the airbag light, you can scan it, fix it, and
reset it yourself!
- What is the SRS light trying to tell me? The BMW SRS light can mean
any number of things from serious to minor. Sometimes it's alerting you to the
real need for a repair of a broken part, but sometimes it is merely indicating
that a circuit critical to proper SRS operation was temporarily disconnected
(i.e. while you were installing a stereo, alarm, racing seat or steering
wheel). Without the R5/SRS, it's anyone's guess. You're stuck staring at your
SRS light light until you have time to go pay someone to diagnose and reset
it.
Are you starting to see that the R5/SRS makes lot's of sense? There's
