Also, I have a full time 4x4 light on, and an occasional battery light on for first minute of start up. Thought this was a steering angle light since I was able to get the 4x4 light off a few times when I turned the wheel stop to stop a few times, but that trick no longer works. What's the fix for that?
Thanks in advance! Jim

My Foxwell NT520Pro with the BWM software clears airbag codes.
Prior to having that, I had bought a $25 tool off eBay that just did BMW airbag codes and nothing else. Worked fine until I got the Foxwell, so I sold it locally.
Might have been this one, B800 sounds right

I thought mine would be a one-time need as well, but that was before I realized I was replacing door window regulators pretty regularly
. For that, you remove the side airbag, and might find a need to drive the window up and down. Reconnecting the battery with the airbag gone will set the airbag light. It can be worked around, but I always found it easier to not worry about the light being triggered, and would reset it when done.
