Reset BMW E36 Airbag by INPA or Foxwell NT530?

 Car model and year: BMW E36 1996 – 2002

 

Symptom: Seats airbag light on

Take the seats out and have them reupholstered why the car is sitting. I ended up starting the car during the procedure of removal. Now the seats are out and the airbag light is on

 

How to reset BMW E36 Seats airbag light on?

You need INPA or a diagnostic tool (I.E Foxwell nt530) to clear it. Airbag lights are not self-clearing. Once the cluster light illuminates the error needs to be corrected (reattach the wiring in this case) and the trouble code erased.

 

Which current market tools can read the error codes?

  1. Inpa: Confirmed

INPA software has reset the light a few times. That’s why I loaded it onto an old laptop. It’s free, except for cost of cables, about $20. Here’s the inpa cable link:

https://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/bmw-inpa-k-can-with-ft232rq-chip.html

bmw-inpa-cable


INPA is a factory tool that BMW still uses today. Not dealer, factory. We have access to an older version that snuck out the side door years ago. It provides all the functionality you could need or ask for for this era of BMW. Of course, it needs to be installed on a laptop, but compatible machines can be obtained very cheaply if you dont have one just laying around.

 

  1. The Peake tool: has bug

The Peake tool is NLA, the entire company is gone… about a decade too late. It is a 1980’s grade tool that they kept trying to limp into this century with marketing. The Chinese offering off Aliexpress and Amazon/eBay is a clone of the Peake circuitry and software. It has a nasty bug in it that has cost many people much time and $$$ chasing the wrong fault. That bug was copied from the Peake tool.
Go INPA

 

  1. Foxwell N530 BMW scanner: Confirmed

I have the Foxwell N530 tool and it also resets the SRS light as well as OBD2, maintenance minder, and other modules. Not as capable as INPA but it is a self contained handheld unit and doesn’t require a laptop.
I just sold my Peake SRS tool.

PS: Get a Foxwell tool along with the round 20 pin connector for about $170 and you will have a capable scan tool for this and future work.

 

Good luck!

Top Tools to Register and Code BMW New Battery

Background Information:

BMW Battery Registration vs. Coding

The registration procedure clears the charging history of the old battery and tells your BMW that a new battery with the same specs as the old battery is installed. The Engine Control Unit (DME) can charge the battery properly.
  • Battery Registration 
    • Registration must be performed every time you change the battery on a 2002 and newer BMW. It lets the car know the battery installed is brand new.
    • If the new battery has the same specs or very close to the old battery (CCA, CA, Ah, battery type) no coding will be required. 
  • Battery Coding
    • In addition to the registration procedure, you will need to carry out coding if you change the battery capacity or type. Coding is required if the new battery has different specifications compared to the old battery installed in the car.
    • For example, if you install a battery with a higher or lower cranking Ampere rating, or switch between Lead Acid and an AGM battery, you will need to code (program) the DME. Otherwise, the DME may overcharge or undercharge the new battery, and therefore shorten the life of the battery.
Some FAQs:

Q: Why do I need to register a new battery?
A: The short answer is that BMW designed the charging system with an algorithm that varies the rate of charge by the age and type of the battery installed. Registering a new battery resets the algorithm back to optimal charging voltage for the specified battery.

The long answer: "The negative battery cable has an electronic control unit on the battery end of it called an intelligent battery sensor (IBS). The IBS measures the state of battery charge and sends this information to the ECU. The ECU uses this information to control how much charging voltage is needed from the alternator to support vehicle electricity needs. A battery deteriorates normally over time and depending upon service demands and driving profile. The IBS reads this and the ECU tells the charging system to increase voltage and amperage output incrementally as the battery matures. Therefore, at battery replacement time, if you don't tell the ECU it has a new battery it will overcharge the new battery causing it to wear out faster.

The registration process takes place in the ECU, which is the main player in this system. Also, when the IBS sees that battery voltage is too low for normal vehicle operation it can start shutting down vehicle functions to conserve power while keeping the vehicle operational. This would be accompanied by a check control warning of excessive battery discharge.”

Q: Why do I need to "code" for a new battery?
A: The answer to this varies. You may not have to! That is, so long as you replace your old battery with an exact replacement. However, if you switch from a wet-cell type battery to an AGM type battery, or vice versa, you must code for the change.

AGM and wet-cell batteries require a different rate of charge output from the alternator. Moving between these two types without coding can lead to over-charging or under-charging.
Also, batteries have a discharge rating called amp hours (ah). You must specify to the DME what the “ah” rating of your battery is so the car can run the proper charging algorithm.

Top BMW Battery Registration Scan Tools:

To complete the BMW battery registration process yourself, you will first need an OBD2 scanner that can perform BMW battery registration. Here is a list of popular scanners that you can use to register a new BMW battery.


  • Foxwell NT510/NT520/NT530 for BMW 
    • One of the most popular BMW scanners. The tool can be used to register a new BMW battery with similar specs compared to the previous battery. Installing a new battery with significantly different specs requires coding which is not currently available on Foxwell NT510 at the time of testing. 
  • BMW ISTA Rheingold
    • Require a laptop, ISTA software and hardware interface (ICOM, K+DCAN, ENET cable etc).
  • Autel Scanners (MaxiSys, TS608, MD808 Pro etc)
    • Professional Level Diagnostic Scanner. It can be used to program and code any type of battery including AGM and lead-acid, even if the replacement battery is significantly different than the original.
  • BMW INPA Software (INPA K+CAN)
    • Require a laptop and familiarity with INAP software. One of the cheapest scan tools able to register a BMW battery. 
  • Carly App for BMW

The procedure to register a BMW battery is very similar to most of the scanners out on the market.

Possible to work with ISTA+ and openport j2534?

Question: 
May i have a question if somebody test already tactrix Openport 2.0 J2534 interface to make it works with BMW ISTA/D (ISTA+)?



Solution:
Confirm it its works with ISTA/D, install bmw passthru drivers and set ediabas.ini to: STD:psssthruD
You can try this. You first need to get the pass thru drivers from bmw. Install the driver for YOUR pass thru and then follow below
1. Run BMW PassthruD in Administrator(Important!!!)
2. Choose the J2534 device you want and save it
3. COPY all file from  C:\Program files (x86)\BMW AG\PassThruD to C:\EDIABAS\BIN (default) EXCEPT EDIABAS.INI
4. Open EDIABAS.INI in notepad
5. Edit configuration interface = STD:passthrud  and save it!
6. Launch ISTA/D and move to Configuration -> Interface
7. Select EDIABAS.INI and apply it.
it will not work on all models but newer models should work okay. Have tested this and it works. I have a bmw icom now but last time I tried this it worked okay.
