Hi from big ole' state of Tennessee across the pond. Me? I know nothing about the Mini other than how to drive it so I will be of no help to you BUT these peeps know a whole lot. Most of the time, I have no idea what they are talking about but sure reads impressive.

Good luck w/your problem.......it can happen with any car/make/model.

With that kind of code you need to have it scanned by a dealer.

Again most garages don't have the proper MINI tools. A lot have tools to read them but not clear them. How old is your battery? Just a FYI MINI's like good strong batteries or they act real funny throwing codes and lights.

We still need to see pics.

You may have hit the nail on the head there !

Mini is 11 years old and on original battery,so may be worth putting another battery on then try and have airbag light reset.

Gonna start a new thread on this problem I am having,need to post more history on this problem.Will start new thread then post link here.


.............and I've put a few pics in my gallery

I will bet if you replace the battery all your issues go away.
