Default resetting passenger airbag and seat belt

Hey guys, just like the title says..how do I reset the passenger airbag and seat belt fault light on the dash? The Indy did it for me once and it stayed off for at least 6 months. Now its back. Can I unplug the module? Will it reset?

thanks

Wow !! I just had this same problem on my car ( 2004 545i ) sport package which is the same year of yours . I'm planning to go to my mechanic so that he could turn that off by resetting the module . I believe that's the only way . If you unplug the module I,don't think it will reset it self I think I'm 100 %'on the .

The module itself stores the fault. You'll be surprised at the amount of detailed information the modules in your car writes to its memory. You will have to use a bmw tool to reset it. If you are adventurous, pay a trip over to BMW Coding Forum and learn about the wonders of module of coding. Otherwise, maybe someone with coding tools (INPA/DIS, etc) resides in your area and can assist.

Good to know it can be coded out. I've been thinking about getting some programing software. Which software is the best bang for the buck?
