First time scanning for codes using BMW Scanner, need some clarification...

[EODguy]

Almost.... after unplugging and then hooking everything up scan and clear each code individually and then see if it comes back and if it does then.... We'll go from there

This is why on the airbag the whole battery deal is in there... (at least for me)

Sounds like a plan, I'll report back after doing what you suggested. Thank you for the recommendation!

So, i ended up purchasing an SRS reset tool, AC808, and it will not reset the codes either. Sounds like I need to disassemble the door and take a look. Again, all codes are showing up yellow, and not red.

Although that's a different number than the one I used to have, and mentioned in an earlier post, it looks to be the same thing. In case it affects you too, here's a tip on what I had to do to get mine to work:

Had to follow instructions exactly. Not too difficult since there are not many buttons, but still...

And then, I had to do it all again. Yes, I always had to do it twice. Every single time the same way. Do it once and it would think it worked, but it did not. Do it the second time and it worked.

And yes, also as I mentioned earlier, if that does not fix it, there is a good chance they made a careless mistake like not plugging it in. Too bad you had a bad mechanic on such a simple job.

I followed the instructions exactly, several times now, with no success. Doesn't even blink the SRS light on the dash like its trying to reset it at all. The lights on the handheld just spin for a sec then it flatlines...and the light on the dash stays solid. If i hit enter again, it just takes me back to FA. Definitely thinking somethings of with the connection, and I'll be tackling taking the door panel off tomorrow. Little colder up here in Montana, and its about 35 degrees in my unheated garage lol hoping to see some warmer weather tomorrow
