I need to pull my airbag control module in my 2002 r50. My Haynes manuel says remove rear seat, both consoles and roll back the carpet. but it doesn't say to pull the front seats so where is it and how much do you really ned to remove to get to it. Anybody know? Thanks

The module must be REALLY buried as they charged 3 hours labor to replace the neighbors

page 6 shows location

 

Thats interesting but... The first link talks about extended warranties for the airbag circuit. My dealer just plays dumb when I ask about this. Is there anywhere that lists the models or vin numbers covered? The second link just shows cable runs not how to get to the module.
Thanks

 

Edmunds has the list of vehicle recalls ...
It SHOWS the Location as the rear between the seats , If I remember it's near the rear of the center console

 

Thanks for the Edmonds link they are having server problems right now but I will keep trying. Is an extended warranty the same as a recall? On the location of the box yes it shows the general location. But its not under the rear seat And I dont feel like puling the hand brake and whatever else apart without knowing for sure. Does anyone have practical knowledge of its location have you worked on it yourself and can say remove this and that part and there it is.

 

There's a picture on page 721-5 in the Bentley manual pointing to the
MRS (airbag) control module. It's betweeen the front seats under the carpet.
After removing the front seats, removing the rear console, and lifting up
the carpet, it appears to be under a point near the front end of the handbrake handle.

 

Thanks i just saw that confirmed over on miniforums.

 

The airbag module is right in front of the emergency brake I pulled it this morning. Thanks for all your help.
