Hi guys.

I have here one 2004 E60 with airbag light on dash (the small light only, not the big on CB), but i have no errors on ista.

I've coded every single airbag module (SBSL, SBSR, SIM etc) and all seems fine but the damn light won't go out.

Any ideias?

Thanks

on early E60, the preflight check might take extra long to turn off warning light after start up.
can you post a photo of your control unit tree and fault list?

It does not go out even after some days.
I don´t have fault list with me right now, but only faults are DDE related (some sensors/actuators).
Thanks

If there really isn't any error codes related to airbag in ISTA I would open the cluster to check that there isn't any monkey business inside it. People do all kinds of things to get the light out and some ghetto fix might have failed causing the light be on constantly.

check the KOMBI if it s coded correctly or if it was replaced

Spirit5676 could be correct, a guy once asked me to swap his airbag light with the brake pad warning light just to get the car through the test but he never came back to have it reversed, which means that when his brake pads fail, the airbag light will come on, worth having a look

I've seen all kinds of monkey business inside cluster. So I check that in cases like these.

Maybe try coding the Kombi.

Kombi seems fine. I flash it and coded, but it still shows the error.

There's someting strange with airbag modules.
I update them all, then coded. After that, i cleared all errors and then i have a few errors on SBSL, related to head restrain system. I checked wires, and they were disconnected. 
I compared the coding before update and default coding, and apparently someone had them coded out. 
Coded them out also, SRS light is still on, but on yellow. 
Check errors, and i see now the error is related to "few messages", from SBSL and SGM/SIM.

I managed to clear all errors, but i believe the light will come after a while.

I do got battery warning on dash after a while, but no error on ista also...

Thanks for your help guys.

Did you have to code them out from both SBSL and SGM? Few message error might be to do with the inconsistency between the 2 units?
