[SIZE=2]Greetings - Thanks in advance for any help.

Trying to reset my airbag light on a 2003 Mini Cooper
Bought the scanner and it revealed the code:
Table 10 code 15: Firing Circuit, Head Airbag, Stage 2
Would not reset, I looked under my seat to verify blue and yellow connectors are firmly connected. With the device indicating a code in the Head Airbag, I believe it is something wrong with my main airbag in the steering wheel, hopefully just a loose connection. Does anyone have any experience with this?

btw: What is Stage 1 vs Stage 2?

(Here is a listing of all codes: autonumen.com/uploadfiles/20080602004454526.pdf

Thanks again, I'll keep this updated with how I fix this...

Fixed it today. I took off the airbag, steering wheel, and clock spring - and noticed the yellow connector was not connected. I connected it, then put it all together. Cleared the code and it did not come back on.

There is a youtube video which shows how to take off the airbag and steering wheel.

To remove the clock spring, remove the two screws underneath the steering column (torx T27) and push the cover down on the front side - you don't have to take it off. There are 3 screws connecting the clock spring (T20 I believe).

So 7 screws total, will take 20 minutes to do.

Please take proper precautions with your airbag, including disconnecting the battery, waiting 10 minutes, and also unplugging all/any electronics plugged into any cigarette lighter/adapter, etc...

I attached two pictures showing the clock spring front and back.

Hope this info can help you.

 

How much did you score your airbag scanner?
Glad you fixed your issue.

 

Great job. Glad it all worked out for you.
